             Summary: remove deprecation from ZooKeeperInstance(String, String) constructor
                 Key: ACCUMULO-2167
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2167
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Keith Turner
            Assignee: Keith Turner
             Fix For: 1.6.0


In 1.6.0-SNAPSHOT the ZooKeeperInstance(String, String) constructor was deprecated.  It does not seem there is a compelling reason to do this.  Below are some reasons I can think of not to do it.
 
 * In 1.6.0 you still need to know an instance name and zookeepers to create a ZookeeperInstance programmatically.  So its not like its reason for being is no longer valid.
 * Its a nice conveince method for new code written against accumulo (its shorter than {{new ClientConfiguration()..withInstance(instanceName).withZkHosts(zooKeepers)}}
 * Most existing code using the API probably uses it.  Why annoy users unnecessarily?
 * There is no maintenance burden for keeping the method

I think all of the other constructors that were deprecated should stay deprecated.  Its likely those constructors are not used, and if their functionality is needed then ClientConfiguration can be used.
