Christopher Tubbs resolved ACCUMULO-4352.
-----------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

If this is still requested, please create a new issue or pull request to fix it at https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues
Since we now have default methods available to us, because 2.0 and later use Java 8 (or later), this may be easier to handle.

> I'm interested in calling {{decodeUnchecked(byte[], off, len)}} as public API, since it removes the need to copy a subarray out from a larger array.  Currently the method sits in the {{AbstractEncoder}} class and is {{protected}}.
> There was a discussion on ACCUULO-2817 to make decodeUnchecked public and add it to the Lexicoder interface. The discussion involved a debate on binary compatibility and semvar.  I can't tell what the resolution was.
> One option is to create a new interface extending Lexicoder with the new method decodeUnchecked. It would maintain binary compatibility, at the cost of adding another interface that exists only for binary compatibility reasons. A few other options were suggested.
