Description
I'm interested in calling decodeUnchecked(byte[], off, len) as public API, since it removes the need to copy a subarray out from a larger array. Currently the method sits in the AbstractEncoder class and is protected.
There was a discussion on ACCUULO-2817 to make decodeUnchecked public and add it to the Lexicoder interface. The discussion involved a debate on binary compatibility and semvar. I can't tell what the resolution was.
One option is to create a new interface extending Lexicoder with the new method decodeUnchecked. It would maintain binary compatibility, at the cost of adding another interface that exists only for binary compatibility reasons. A few other options were suggested.
