Aleksandr Shulman updated HBASE-10251: -------------------------------------- Labels: api_compatibility (was: ) > Restore API Compat for PerformanceEvaluation.generateValue() > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-10251 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10251 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Client > Affects Versions: 0.98.1 > Reporter: Aleksandr Shulman > Assignee: Aleksandr Shulman > Labels: api_compatibility > > Observed: > A couple of my client tests fail to compile against trunk because the method > PerformanceEvaluation.generateValue was removed as part of HBASE-8496. > This is an issue because is was used in a number of places, including unit > tests. Since we did not explicitly label this API as private, it's ambiguous > as to whether this could/should have been used by people writing apps against > 0.96. If they used it, then they would be broken upon upgrade to 0.98 and > trunk. > Potential Solution: > The method was renamed to generateData, but the logic is still the same. We > can reintroduce it as deprecated in 0.98, as compat shim over generateData. > The patch should be a few lines. We may also consider doing so in trunk, but > I'd be just as fine with leaving it out. > More generally, this raises the question about what other code is in this > "grey-area", where it is public, is used outside of the package, but is not > explicitly labeled with an AudienceInterface. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.5#6160)
