[jira] Updated: (HTTPCLIENT-1005) API surface of caching module can
be reduced
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1005?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Jonathan Moore updated HTTPCLIENT-1005:
---------------------------------------
Attachment: smaller-api.patch
The attached patch reduces the surface of the exposed API, so that the only publicly-available classes are:
CacheConfig
CacheResponseStatus
DefaultCachingHttpClient
EhcacheCachingHttpClient
MemcachedCachingHttpClient
This allows a client currently to instantiate but not extend the current implementation. One side effect is that most classes are now in the org.apache.http.impl.client.cache package except for CacheConfig and CacheResponseStatus.
This patch is contributed to the ASF with the permission of my employer.

> While the caching module can currently be considered functional and useful for folks as-is, there are several near-term enhancements planned that could change the exposed binary API of the caching module (although it is not yet clear whether they would or not). In an effort to allow the 4.1 GA release to go forward while hedging bets against future development, we should consider drastically reducing the exposed binary API of the caching module, and not exposing extension points until someone explicitly asks for them.
