This is a public method. Removing it will break existing clients. Please keep the old one and add a new method instead.
|
Filled out the CLA as requested. Will look into re-adding the method w/ the original signature shortly. |
|
Do you think the original method should be marked @deprecated ? |
|
No. The original method is used widely in our internal code base. Unless we are willing to do a global clean-up and replace all call-sites (which will take weeks or months and isn't worthwhile in this case), we shouldn't mark the old method as deprecated. |

Please remove use of this StandardCharsets.
This StandardCharsets is introduced only since jdk 1.7. Our library supports back to jdk 1.5. We probably can drop 1.5 support soon but I believe jdk 1.6 will be supported for quite some time.

Removed use of StandardCharsets. Since String#getBytes(Charset) was introduced in jdk 1.6 (which is the whole point of this change), support for jdk 1.5 cannot be provided.

Please test both ByteString.toString(String) and ByteString.toString(Charset) here (you added a test case for the latter but removed the test case for the former).

Use the cleaner and slightly faster getBytes on Strings.
