-----------------------------------

             Summary: public setters added to GatewaySender, not caught by japicmp
                 Key: GEODE-9702
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-9702
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: wan
    Affects Versions: 1.15.0
            Reporter: Owen Nichols


In 1.15.0, new methods were added to Geode's public interface such as `GatewaySender.getRetriesToGetTransactionEventsFromQueue`.  While adding methods _is_ compatible with existing source and binary calls to this interface, it breaks anything else that implements this interface. _Even if_ a default implementation had been provided, there are still edge cases where it could collide with existing implementation that may already have methods with those names.

Possible solutions:

1. add default implementation, and ignore the edge case

2. remove the public getters

3. create a new interface extending the old one, in which to add the new getters

Also: look into why japicmp checks did not fail when these new public setters and getters were first added back in April.
