             Summary: Replace usage of our Base64 implementation with java.util.Base64
                 Key: HBASE-20884
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20884
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Mike Drob
             Fix For: 3.0.0


We have a public domain implementation of Base64 that is copied into our code base and infrequently receives updates. We should replace usage of that with the new Java 8 java.util.Base64 where possible.

For the migration, I propose a phased approach.
* Deprecate on 1.x and 2.x to signal to users that this is going away.
* Replace usages on branch-2 and master with j.u.Base64
* Delete our implementation of Base64 on master.

Does this seem in line with our API compatibility requirements?
