> There are many issues with the current client API, and we've had a lot of lessons learned that could be incorporated into a new one.
> Some of the issues this would address:
> * questions like "What is considered 'Public API'?"
> * automated testing for incompatible API changes
> * provide better support for alternative implementations of pluggable features
> * distinguish between compile-time dependencies and runtime dependencies
> * consistent exception handling
> * consistent/symmetric getters/setters
> * well-defined resource lifecycles
> * better resource management
> * simpler entry point to communicate with Accumulo
> * better support for client-side configuration management
> * logical layout of first class Accumulo objects in the API (Table, User, Scan, Connection)
> Some of these goal may evolve during the development of this feature, and many previously identified issues can be moved to sub-tasks of this one. This ticket is intended to cover the overall feature, but the details will be handled in sub-tasks.
