Christopher Tubbs resolved ACCUMULO-4352.
-----------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
If this is still requested, please create a new issue or pull request to fix it
at https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues
Since we now have default methods available to us, because 2.0 and later use
Java 8 (or later), this may be easier to handle.
> Lexicoder decode(byte[], offset, length) into public API
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-4352
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4352
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: client
> Reporter: Shana Hutchison
> Priority: Major
>
> I'm interested in calling {{decodeUnchecked(byte[], off, len)}} as public
> API, since it removes the need to copy a subarray out from a larger array.
> Currently the method sits in the {{AbstractEncoder}} class and is
> {{protected}}.
> There was a discussion on ACCUULO-2817 to make decodeUnchecked public and add
> it to the Lexicoder interface. The discussion involved a debate on binary
> compatibility and semvar. I can't tell what the resolution was.
> One option is to create a new interface extending Lexicoder with the new
> method decodeUnchecked. It would maintain binary compatibility, at the cost
> of adding another interface that exists only for binary compatibility
> reasons. A few other options were suggested.
