[jira] [Created] (CASSANDRA-16096) Change style guide to include @Override

David Capwell created CASSANDRA-16096:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Change style guide to include @Override
                 Key: CASSANDRA-16096
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16096
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build, Documentation/Website
            Reporter: David Capwell
            Assignee: David Capwell


@Override is used by javac to enforce that a method is in fact overriding from an abstract class or an interface and if this stops being true (such as a refactor happens) then a compiler error is thrown; when we default to excluding, it makes it harder to detect that a refactor catches all implementations and can lead to subtle and hard to track down bugs.

This ticket removes the comment in the docs that @Override should be avoided and updated the style guide to include them by default.
