             Summary: Introduce refaster for automatic reformat of the code
                 Key: CALCITE-4658
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-4658
             Project: Calcite
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Vladimir Sitnikov


Sometimes we have API usage rules which require manual actions to correct.
For instance, we "forbid" the use of {{Lists#newArrayList()}}, and suggest replacing it with {{new ArrayList()}}.

It would be better if the build script could perform such replacements automatically.

Refaster is a smart refactoring library for Java: https://errorprone.info/docs/refaster, and it could help us to keep the code up to date.

Of course, forbidden-apis checks might still be there (e.g. for those who prefer manual replacements), however, adding automatic code cleanups would be great.
