["Keith Turner (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1203?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13613075#comment-13613075 ] 

Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-1203:
----------------------------------------

Changing the interface will break formatters that users implemented for an earlier versions.  If the interface had been an abstract class, we would have had more flexibility to deprecate and add.   With the interface, it does not seem there is much that can be done.  Does anyone object to making this change?

I think if we are going to break it then we should make it an abstract class so we will have more flexibility in the future. Or maybe an interface and abstract class combo, encouraging users to extend the abstract class in the javadoc.

> When I was trying to debug my SummingArrayCombiner, I figured it would have been helpful to display the dateString vs just the long representation.
