---------------------------------
Summary: Replace usage of our Base64 implementation with
java.util.Base64
Key: HBASE-20884
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20884
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Mike Drob
Fix For: 3.0.0
We have a public domain implementation of Base64 that is copied into our code
base and infrequently receives updates. We should replace usage of that with
the new Java 8 java.util.Base64 where possible.
For the migration, I propose a phased approach.
* Deprecate on 1.x and 2.x to signal to users that this is going away.
* Replace usages on branch-2 and master with j.u.Base64
* Delete our implementation of Base64 on master.
Does this seem in line with our API compatibility requirements?
