Currently we have tests like ```java testParameter5 () { Snapshot = (foo, bar, x ,null, 4, ...,....,.,,..) } ``` Which I think would be much cleaner as ```java testParameter5() { testSnapshot().withParameter5(true) ... some beahvior testSnapshot().withParameter5(false) .. some other behavior } ``` Not only would the new tests be cleaner, but they would also be future proofed. For the general use in the library I don't think there are any places in the code where we actually want to be using a constructor with less parameters. For Snapshot, we always want everything specified and for TableMetadata we expect users to go through the Public Builder and not the constructor. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
