Github user keith-turner commented on the issue:
https://github.com/apache/accumulo/pull/145
To expand on my previous comment about consistency and why I am less
certain. The reason I was torn after re-reading @melrief comment is that the
issue of consistency is not about new vs existing users. Having 20 different
ways to say the same thing in the API is aesthetically displeasing. So even
though the new API may be aesthetically pleasing when considered alone, it may
not be when considering it as part of the entire API. This may be ok if a new
standard is set thats followed from the point forward. Existing precedents
must be considered when adding new APIs.
