I'm cool with #4 as well, but make sure we dictate that the values should be defined within an object with the same name as the enumeration (like we do for StorageLevel). Otherwise we may pollute a higher namespace.
e.g. we SHOULD do: trait StorageLevel object StorageLevel { case object MemoryOnly extends StorageLevel case object DiskOnly extends StorageLevel } On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 5:37 PM, Michael Armbrust <mich...@databricks.com> wrote: > #4 with a preference for CamelCaseEnums > > On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 5:29 PM, Joseph Bradley <jos...@databricks.com> > wrote: > > > another vote for #4 > > People are already used to adding "()" in Java. > > > > > > On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 5:14 PM, Stephen Boesch <java...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > > #4 but with MemoryOnly (more scala-like) > > > > > > http://docs.scala-lang.org/style/naming-conventions.html > > > > > > Constants, Values, Variable and Methods > > > > > > Constant names should be in upper camel case.
