Description

In revision r832220 KeyedHandler's API was modified. KeyedHandler#createRow used to be able to return any object, but now can only return a Map (and a map of Strings to Objects, at that).

clirr reports this as a binary backwards compatibility error; even "correct" subclasses of KeyedHandler that attempt to override createRow will find that we ignore the subclass implementation and simply invoke KeyedHandler#createRow instead.
