Viraj Jasani updated HBASE-23093: --------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 1.6.0 2.3.0 3.0.0 Status: Patch Available (was: In Progress) > Avoid Optional Anti-Patterns > ---------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-23093 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23093 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.3.0, 1.6.0 > Reporter: Viraj Jasani > Assignee: Viraj Jasani > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.0.0, 2.3.0, 1.6.0 > > > Optional should be used as a return type only. It's a neat solution for > handling data that might not be present. We should avoid using Optional > Anti-Patterns i.e. using it as a field or parameter type due to these reasons: > 1. Using Optional parameters causing conditional logic inside the methods is > not productive. > 2. Packing an argument in an Optional is suboptimal for the compiler and does > an unnecessary wrapping. > 3. Optional field is not serializable. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
