Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-4838:
---------------------------------------------
Linked to ACCUMULO-2589, because it's similar to the API module proposed there
(could be combined, but doesn't have to be).
> Create SPI package

> Key: ACCUMULO-4838
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4838
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Keith Turner
> Priority: Major
>
> Accumulo has multiple pluggable services. It would be nice if the SPIs
> (service provider interface) for these were in one package. For existing
> service SPIs, this can not be easily done. However, for new service SPIs it
> would be nice to start putting them under a single package. This package
> could be {{org.apache.accumulo.core.spi}}. Currently there are at least two
> new unreleased SPIs for caching and summarization. These could be moved to
> the new package.
> For existing SPIs could possibly do the following :
> * Create a new SPI in the new package
> * Make existing SPI extend new SPI and deprecate it
> The contents of this package could be analyzed by APILyzer to ensure only API
> and SPI types are used.
