merlimat opened a new pull request #1280: Removing references for "destination" names URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pulsar/pull/1280 ### Motivation The usage of the term "destination" has a long legacy root in Pulsar. Destination term is used in JMS specification to identify either a "topic" or a "queue". In Pulsar we only have "topics", though they can also provide the same semantics as JMS queue, so we don't need to have a generic term. So far, we've been liberally using either "topic" or "destination" indifferently in the code base to mean the same exact thing. This can be confusing to many people and there's no need to continue with that. There should only be 1 way to call a topic. ### Modifications * Renamed `DestinationName` class into `TopicName` * Renamed `DestinationDomain` into `TopicDomain` (either `persistent` or `non-persistent`) * Renamed all variables mentioning "destination" into `topic` or `topicName` * Adjusted Javadocs to always refer to topics Not modified: * `/admin/namespaces/destinations` in v1 admin API to keep compatibility * Website documentation: will address that later ### Result Simplified nomenclature and avoid exposing undocumented concepts like "destination".
