Sean Busbey commented on ACCUMULO-3404:
---------------------------------------

I'm all for reintroducing the class, but could you elaborate on the cause for the public API confusion? Do we point people to that class in our docs or something?

> o.a.a.t.i.Tracer in the trace module was removed as a part of the HTrace changes because it is no longer needed. It would be nice to reintroduce the class, deprecate it, and make a pointer to the new classes to use.
> This is another awkward scenario because users could have very easily considered this class "public API" but it does not currently fit into our definition of it.
> This also has caused a breakage downstream and would be easier to fix here than all other projects.
