Billie Rinaldi resolved ACCUMULO-206.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> removing "throws IOException" from method breaks backwards compatibility
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-206
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-206
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: client
> Reporter: Adam Fuchs
> Assignee: Billie Rinaldi
> Priority: Blocker
>
> One example of this is the
> org.apache.accumulo.core.client.ScannerBase.setScanIterators method. In
> version 1.3.x this has the signature:
> {noformat}
> public void setScanIterators(int priority, String iteratorClass, String
> iteratorName) throws IOException;
> {noformat}
> But, in the 1.4 branch it reads:
> {noformat}
> public void setScanIterators(int priority, String iteratorClass, String
> iteratorName);
> {noformat}
> Code that compiled against 1.3 and attempts to catch that IOException does
> not compile against 1.4 with this change, giving the following error:
> {noformat}
> exception java.io.IOException is never thrown in body of corresponding try
> statement
> {noformat}
> I think we should maintain the previous signature on this method in the 1.4
> release, even if it doesn't throw an exception (especially because it's
> deprecated). We also need to look for any other cases like this and decide
> what to do on a case-by-case basis.
