big-andy-coates opened a new pull request #5205: KAFKA-7010: Rename
ResourceNameType to PatternType
URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/5205
Fix for [KAFKA-7010](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7010).
The initial PR for KIP-290 #5117 added a new `ResourceNameType`, which was
initially a field on `Resource` and `ResourceFilter`. However, follow on PRs
have now moved the name type fields to new `ResourcePattern` and
`ResourcePatternFilter` classes. This means the old name is no longer valid and
may be confusing. The PR looks to rename the class to a more intuitive
`resource.PatternType`.
@cmccabe also requested that the current `ANY` value for this class be
renamed to avoid confusion. `PatternType.ANY` currently causes
`ResourcePatternFilter` to bring back all ACLs that would affect the supplied
resource, i.e. it brings back literal, wildcard ACLs, and also does pattern
matching to work out which prefix acls would affect the resource. This is very
different from the behaviour of `ResourceType.ANY`, which just means the filter
ignores the type of resources.
`ANY` is to be renamed to `MATCH` to disambiguate it from other `ANY`
filter types. A new `ANY` will be added that works in the same way as others,
i.e. it will cause the filter to ignore the pattern type, (but won't do any
pattern matching).

> The current ResourceNameType.ANY may be misleading as it performs pattern
> matching for wildcard and prefixed bindings. Where as ResourceName.ANY just
> brings back any resource name.
> Renaming to ResourceNameType.MATCH and adding more Java doc should clear this
> up.
> Finally, ResourceNameType is no longer appropriate as the type is used in
> ResourcePattern and ResourcePatternFilter. Hence rename to PatternType.
