[jira] [Created] (TINKERPOP-1443) Use an API checker during build

Lukas Krejci created TINKERPOP-1443:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Use an API checker during build
                 Key: TINKERPOP-1443
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-1443
             Project: TinkerPop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build-release
    Affects Versions: 3.2.2
            Reporter: Lukas Krejci


Tinkerpop 3.2.2 changed the signature of the method {{GraphTraversal.hasLabel}} from {{(String...)}} to {{(String, String...)}}. While this is certainly an improvement, it is both source and binary incompatible change.

I.e. even if every usage of {{hasLabel}} had at least one parameter in the user code, none of those calls will work until all the user code is recompiled using Tinkerpop 3.2.2.

I don't know the versioning policy of Tinkerpop but changes like the above in a micro/patch release are generally unexpected.

Please consider API checkers like http://revapi.org to warn about such incompatible API changes...
