Hello Devs, For those of you I have yet to meet, my name is Mike Miller and I am the newbie who is going to be helping out on Accumulo development. I have been working with Accumulo as a Java developer on an ingest and query project for the past year. I doubt I'll be able to fill the shoes of past contributors but I hope that I can make a positive contribution to the project.
I have browsed the JIRA tickets labelled "newbie" and selected the ACCUMULO-1604 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1604> bug to fix (more so as a learning exercise than anything). I just wanted to make sure I am reproducing the bug correctly and to propose a solution. I believe I reproduced the bug by getting the ColumnAgeOffFilter to throw an "IllegalArgumentException: bad TTL options" in the o.a.a.core.iterators.user.FilterTest.test2a(). I did this by adding the following line: ColumnAgeOffFilter.setNegate(is, true); This Exception is caused by: NumberFormatException: For input string "true" The comments in the ticket discuss adding "column:" prefix to options for the ColumnAgeOffFilter. Please correct me if I am wrong but I think it can be fixed without having to change the syntax of the options. Wouldn't adding a check to the loop in the constructor of TTLSet to ignore the NEGATE option on any strings in objectStrings param prevent this error from occurring? The negate option would still be seen by the parent, without any further changes. Looking forward to working with you folks! -Mike M.
