Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-4376:
---------------------------------------------
[~melrief] Feel free to get started, if you wish. I've been experimenting with
this a bit. Take a look at [what I have here for
Key|https://github.com/ctubbsii/accumulo/blob/ACCUMULO-2589/api/src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/api/data/Key.java]
to see if it helps as a starting point.
> Introduce a Builders for "data" classes

> Key: ACCUMULO-4376
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4376
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: client
> Reporter: Josh Elser
> Fix For: 2.0.0

>
> In looking at ACCUMULO-4375, I was a little frustrated at how we have 3x
> constructors than Key really provides just to support {{byte[]}}, {{Text}},
> and {{CharSequence}} arguments. Additionally, the {{copy}} argument forces
> the user to use the most specific (most arguments) constructor if they want
> to avoid the copy. This makes constructing a Key from just a row while
> avoiding a copy very pedantic.
> I think a KeyBuilder (or KeyFactory) class would be a big usability benefit
> and reduce the amount of code that clients have to write to most efficiently
> construct Keys.
