Github user jdasch commented on a diff in the pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-rya/pull/248#discussion_r148272970 --- Diff: extras/periodic.notification/api/src/main/java/org/apache/rya/periodic/notification/api/PeriodicNotificationClient.java --- @@ -36,29 +36,26 @@ * Adds a new notification to be registered with the {@link NotificationCoordinatorExecutor} * @param notification - notification to be added */ - public void addNotification(PeriodicNotification notification); --- End diff -- Per the [JLS](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-9.html#jls-9.4): "It is permitted, but discouraged as a matter of style, to redundantly specify the public and/or abstract modifier for a method declared in an interface." This is consistent with how Java and Guava style their code. I realize that other Rya interfaces may have these redundant modifiers, but I was just correcting this instance because I was already modifying that file.
