> AccumuloSecurityException has a public constructor which is completely unused. I don't know if we should consider constructors of exceptions "public API", but they are defined as such in the README, so a strict interpretation is that they are.
> The unused constructor in question is:
> {code}public AccumuloSecurityException(final String user, final SecurityErrorCode errorcode, final String tableInfo) { ... }{code}
> This class also uses thrift objects in its constructors, which we don't consider public API, so either we should also consider constructors of exceptions to be *not* public API (in which case, we can just delete the unused constructor), or we should consider the use of thrift objects bugs.
> If these constructors are public API, they should have tests and we shouldn't have any unused (because they would minimally be referenced in tests).
