Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-1516:
----------------------------------------

I would not consider it part of the public API.  A lot of the constants in that file are tightly coupled to Accumulo's internal implementation.  Because of this tight coupling, we have  made changes to it (add, delete, rename constants) w/o deprecation in the past.

> o.a.a.core.Constants has become a mess, full of both useful and not useful stuff that is difficult to sift through.
> For instance, there's a String literal constant for "UTF-8" that is only ever used in one place, and Constants.NO_AUTHS should really be Authorizations.EMPTY
> Some of this, I want/need to clean up so I can track down all the important bits to migrate the root tablet to its own table without clutter.
