Combiner default behavior is dangerous
--------------------------------------
Key: ACCUMULO-151
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-151
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Components: client, tserver
Reporter: Keith Turner
Assignee: Billie Rinaldi
Fix For: 1.4.0
Currently if the users does not give the combiner any columns to work against,
it will work against all columns. This is dangerous, if a user accidentally
forgets to specify columns then their data could be unintentionally corrupted.
Something different needs to be done.
Also classes that extend combiner should call super.validateOptions().
