[Geotools-devel] Question about final marker on ContentDataStore method

[Jim H. <jn...@cc...>]

Hi all,

In GeoMesa, we are using the ContentDataStore, etc abstract interfaces.  
In the case of ContentDataStore.getSchema functions, I'd like to suggest 
that getSchema(String typename) ought not be marked final.

For the DataStore in question, sufficient metadata is available at the 
DataStore level, and instantiating a FeatureSource creates additional 
threads and connections (which in this case is very undesirable).

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Jim
