[recommenders-dev] Jayes - deprecated API

[Michael Kutschke <kutschke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
i would like to get rid of some of the deprecated API in Jayes in the 
near future. But before doing so, i would like to know if Jayes clients 
still use those parts of the API. If your code will break if one of the 
following parts of the API gets removed, please shout. Otherwise, I may 
or may not remove those in the future.

The following elements are currently deprecated and likely candidates 
for removal:

BayesNet.addNode(BayesNode)
BayesNode.BayesNode(String)
BayesNode.setId(int)
IBayesInferer     -- is replaced by IBayesInferrer
AbstractInferer    -- is replaced by AbstractInferrer
BayesNode.marginalize(Map<BayesNode,String>)
ISampler.setBN(BayesNet)
BasicSampler.setBN(BayesNet)
AbstractFactor.marginalizeAllBut(int)

The following are not marked deprecated but still provide API that i 
would like to get rid of (i may mark those as deprecated soon):

XDSLReader.setLegacyMode(boolean) / isLegacyMode()
XMLBIFReader.setLegacyMode(boolean) / isLegacyMode()

This would drop the support for reading files that were created using 
Jayes 1.0.0 API, when BayesNets had no names. Let me know if, for some 
reason, you still need this support.

ModuloCache may also disappear together with 
AbstractFactor.marginalizeAllBut(int), but is useful enough to have it 
stick around a little longer. If you use this class, please let me know 
as well.

Thanks,
