This won't work with the Java Jigsaw module system because it prohibits having two identical packages in different modules. I really hope that we will adopt Jigsaw in the near future. Unless you are suggesting moving all utility classes under org.apache.ignite.api.util package, bit this looks really odd to me - why would IgniteUuid be in api.util package?
As for the public and private utilities, I think there may be some classes that may be common for all modules, but should not be treated as public API because we should be free to change them without any compatibility contract. An example of such a class is GridFunc. Arguably, many of its methods should be removed for good, but I am sure there will be a few really useful ones. Nevertheless, we should not encourage or allow users to use GridFunc. --AG ср, 31 мар. 2021 г. в 14:27, Alexei Scherbakov <alexey.scherbak...@gmail.com >: > Alexey, > > I would instead suggest moving the public utility classes to > org.apache.ignite.api. package in the util module to separate them from > internal classes, if we really need this. > > Actually, I don't think there is a point in separating public/internal > classes in the util module.
