[Bug 57898] New: Fix for #50786 breaks API of HSSFColor.getIndexHash()

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=57898

            Bug ID: 57898
           Summary: Fix for #50786 breaks API of HSSFColor.getIndexHash()
           Product: POI
           Version: 3.8-FINAL
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HSSF
          Assignee: dev@poi.apache.org
          Reporter: tobias.gruetzmacher@inform-software.com

The fix commited for bug #50786 (r1077920) changes the return value of 
HSSFColor.getIndexHash() from java.util.Hashtable to java.util.Map.

This breaks libraries that used the old return value and are built against POI
3.6 and run with POI 3.9 (in my case):

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.apache.poi.hssf.util.HSSFColor.getIndexHash()Ljava/util/Hashtable;

--- Comment #1 from Nick Burch <ap...@gagravarr.org> ---
I'm not sure we're going to be able to fix this, sorry. Having a Hashtable as a
return type isn't ideal, Map is generally cleaner. Additionally, the change
occurred over 4 years ago, so large numbers of people will have written /
updated their code to the new signature, which means a change back would affect
too many people

POI 3.6 is getting on for 6 years old now! Anything using that really really
ought to be upgraded to something more modern, just see
http://poi.apache.org/changes.html#3.6 for an idea of the features and bug
fixes since then
