Quoted from [StackOverFlow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3570796/why-use-abstract-base-classes-in-python): "A handy feature of ABCs is that if you don't implement all necessary methods (and properties) you get an error upon instantiation, rather than an AttributeError, potentially much later, when you actually try to use the missing method.". I'll add a test case. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
