Hi Kirk (also responding to Bruce as I was writing this before he sent)- Thank you for following up.
Regarding the addition of the getOnlineLocators()... SDG does implement <http://docs.spring.io/spring-data-gemfire/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/gemfire/client/support/package-summary.html> [1] a few Geode interfaces, such as *org.apache.geode.cache.client.Pool*. This is due in part since not all the state for certain Geode objects (e.g. Pool) is known in advance as the actual object may not have been created by the *Spring* container yet. However, that state is captured in *Spring* FactoryBeans, which will be used to construct the actual object at the appropriate time. Anyway, like the "internal" API, I have tried to keep such implementations of Geode interfaces/classes to a minimum. Still, it is a good indicator of when something has changed since I will most certainly get a compilation failure. This leads me to, I do need to know when APIs change to provide appropriate support in SDG, possibly in configuration, whether XML of via Java/annotations with the FactoryBeans, e.g. PoolFactoryBean <http://docs.spring.io/spring-data-gemfire/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/gemfire/client/PoolFactoryBean.html> [2], especially if it is a configuration property/attribute. Other cases my be important from an accessibility or information standpoint (probably more so for tooling). As for the InternalDataSerializer... No worries. I found an acceptable and actually better workaround. Again, I am trying to reduce or completely eliminate the use of "internal" classes in SDG. Unfortunately, a quick search (using regex) in SDG for "import org\.apache\.geode.*internal" reveals 35 occurrences, the most pertinent ones being... org.apache.geode.internal.GemFireVersion (used in debugging) org.apache.geode.internal.DistributionLocator org.apache.geode.internal.InternalDataSerializer org.apache.geode.internal.cache.GemFireCacheImpl org.apache.geode.internal.cache.LocalRegion (used to inspect whether a server proxy is present to acquire the appropriate QueryService) org.apache.geode.internal.cache.PartitionedRegion org.apache.geode.internal.cache.UserSpecifiedRegionAttributes org.apache.geode.internal.cache.lru.LRUCapacityController org.apache.geode.internal.cache.lru.MemLRUCapacityController org.apache.geode.internal.cache.query.internal.ResultsBag org.apache.geode.internal.distributed.internal.DistributionConfig org.apache.geode.internal.distributed.internal.InternalDistributedSystem org.apache.geode.internal.distributed.internal.InternalLocator org.apache.geode.internal.datasource.ConfigProperty (JNDI support) org.apache.geode.internal.jndi.JNDIInvoker (JNDI support) org.apache.geode.internal.security.SecurityService (my doing) Most of this was added before my time. I just need time to review these more carefully, and how each is used. I know many of these are used for good reason.
