Hi Mahadev!
Sounds good that you want getters and setters, it makes most things easier
to reason about,
even though it might add a couple of extra lines of code.
The reason that I'm bringing up the synchronization is that some of the
methods in the DataNode
are synchronized, which I like if it me
Hi Erik,
There is no such reason for accessing variable without acess and getters.
We should not be doing that. Its good to have getters and setters.
The synchronization on DataNode is a safe lock that would prevent developers
being concerned about finer locks and maintaining them. In our perfor
In most places in the server side code, internal variables are accessed
directly via something like, node.parent... instead of making the variable
private and using getters and setters, what is the purpose of this?
Another question is why the synchronization on for example the DataNode is
