ctubbsii commented on issue #708: Simplify API definition by moving impl packages from under API packages URL: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues/708#issuecomment-436020236 @mikewalch That link is to a tutorial, which explains a simplified convention. A better link on package naming conventions is probably http://java.sun.com/docs/codeconv/html/CodeConventions.doc8.html , which explains that the package name *prefix* should be all lower-case, based on organizations DNS, but also spells out that "Subsequent components of the package name vary according to an organization's own internal naming conventions." I think `camelCase` is fine as a convention for these "subsequent components" impl packages (as long as it starts with a lowercase, to not look like conflict with class names). And, this naming convention is permitted by the JLS. `x_impl` is also an option, but I just don't like it as much, and it's not very Java-like.
