[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-9901) Make AbstractType.isByteOrderComparable abstract

["Shawn Lavelle (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9901?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15497491#comment-15497491 ] 

Shawn Lavelle commented on CASSANDRA-9901:
------------------------------------------

This may or may not be the right place for this, but ... I'm posting for awareness.

This change converted two anonymous classes into Lambda expressions. One in AbstractType and one in MapSerializer. When I attempt to use any of the Cassandra 3.0.x lines (through 9 snapshot that I compiled), I get runtime class not found exceptions looking for AbstractType$Lambda$$2.  I was able to replace the lambda with an anonymous class and remove the exceptions (that's how I found the MapSerializer doing the same thing) and then the code ran.  

There seems to be a known bug with Javac under 1.8.0_25 and fixed in 1.8.0_45 with lambda's losing type information during compile? Might be related.

If there's already a ticket for this, please forgive me, but I couldn't find it. I wanted to post this here in case anyone else encountered it and their googles were as fruitless as mine.

> I can't recall _precisely_ what was agreed at the NGCC, but I'm reasonably sure we agreed to make this method abstract, put some javadoc explaining we may require fields to yield true in the near future, and potentially log a warning on startup if a user-defined type returns false.
> This should make it into 3.0, IMO, so that we can look into migrating to byte-order comparable types in the post-3.0 world.
