Classes

Class	Description
com.google.common.collect.ForwardingBlockingDeque	This class has moved to com.google.common.util.concurrent. Please use ForwardingBlockingDeque instead.
com.google.common.collect.TreeTraverser	Use Traverser instead. All instance methods have their equivalent on the result of Traverser.forTree(tree) where tree implements SuccessorsFunction, which has a similar API as TreeTraverser.children(T) or can be the same lambda function as passed into TreeTraverser.using(Function). This class is scheduled to be removed in October 2019.

Exceptions

Exceptions

Description

com.google.common.collect.ComputationException

This exception is no longer thrown by com.google.common. Previously, it was thrown by MapMaker computing maps. When support for computing maps was removed from MapMaker, it was added to CacheBuilder, which throws ExecutionException, UncheckedExecutionException, and ExecutionError. Any code that is still catching ComputationException may need to be updated to catch some of those types instead. (Note that this type, though deprecated, is not planned to be removed from Guava.)

Methods

com.google.common.base.CharMatcher.javaDigit()	Many digits are supplementary characters; see the class documentation.
com.google.common.base.CharMatcher.javaLetter()	Most letters are supplementary characters; see the class documentation.

com.google.common.base.Throwables.propagate(Throwable)	Use throw e or throw new RuntimeException(e) directly, or use a combination of Throwables.throwIfUnchecked(java.lang.Throwable) and throw new RuntimeException(e). For background on the deprecation, read Why we deprecated Throwables.propagate.
com.google.common.base.Throwables.propagateIfInstanceOf(Throwable, Class<X>)	Use Throwables.throwIfInstanceOf(java.lang.Throwable, java.lang.Class<X>), which has the same behavior but rejects null.

com.google.common.collect.Multimaps.unmodifiableMultimap(ImmutableMultimap<K, V>)	no need to use this
com.google.common.collect.Multimaps.unmodifiableSetMultimap(ImmutableSetMultimap<K, V>)	no need to use this
com.google.common.collect.Multisets.unmodifiableMultiset(ImmutableMultiset<E>)	no need to use this

com.google.common.collect.TreeBasedTable.rowComparator()	Use table.rowKeySet().comparator() instead.
com.google.common.collect.TreeMultimap.keyComparator()	Use ((NavigableSet<K>) multimap.keySet()).comparator() instead.

com.google.common.hash.BloomFilter.apply(T)	Provided only to satisfy the Predicate interface; use BloomFilter.mightContain(T) instead.
com.google.common.hash.Hasher.hashCode()	This returns Object.hashCode(); you almost certainly mean to call hash().asInt().
com.google.common.hash.Hashing.md5()	If you must interoperate with a system that requires MD5, then use this method, despite its deprecation. But if you can choose your hash function, avoid MD5, which is neither fast nor secure. As of January 2017, we suggest: For security: Hashing.sha256() or a higher-level API. For speed: Hashing.goodFastHash(int), though see its docs for caveats.
com.google.common.hash.Hashing.sha1()	If you must interoperate with a system that requires SHA-1, then use this method, despite its deprecation. But if you can choose your hash function, avoid SHA-1, which is neither fast nor secure. As of January 2017, we suggest: For security: Hashing.sha256() or a higher-level API. For speed: Hashing.goodFastHash(int), though see its docs for caveats.
com.google.common.io.ByteArrayDataOutput.writeBytes(String)	This method is dangerous as it discards the high byte of every character. For UTF-8, use write(s.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)).
com.google.common.io.Files.append(CharSequence, File, Charset)	Prefer asCharSink(to, charset, FileWriteMode.APPEND).write(from). This method is scheduled to be removed in October 2019.
com.google.common.io.Files.copy(File, Charset, Appendable)	Prefer asCharSource(from, charset).copyTo(to). This method is scheduled to be removed in October 2019.
com.google.common.io.Files.createTempDir()	For Android users, see the Data and File Storage overview to select an appropriate temporary directory (perhaps context.getCacheDir()). For developers on Java 7 or later, use Files.createTempDirectory(java.nio.file.Path, java.lang.String, java.nio.file.attribute.FileAttribute<?>...), transforming it to a File using toFile() if needed.
com.google.common.io.Files.hash(File, HashFunction)	Prefer asByteSource(file).hash(hashFunction). This method is scheduled to be removed in October 2019.
com.google.common.io.Files.readBytes(File, ByteProcessor<T>)	Prefer asByteSource(file).read(processor). This method is scheduled to be removed in October 2019.
com.google.common.io.Files.readFirstLine(File, Charset)	Prefer asCharSource(file, charset).readFirstLine(). This method is scheduled to be removed in October 2019.
com.google.common.io.Files.readLines(File, Charset, LineProcessor<T>)	Prefer asCharSource(file, charset).readLines(callback). This method is scheduled to be removed in October 2019.
com.google.common.io.Files.toString(File, Charset)	Prefer asCharSource(file, charset).read(). This method is scheduled to be removed in October 2019.
com.google.common.io.Files.write(CharSequence, File, Charset)	Prefer asCharSink(to, charset).write(from). This method is scheduled to be removed in October 2019.
com.google.common.io.LittleEndianDataOutputStream.writeBytes(String)	The semantics of writeBytes(String s) are considered dangerous. Please use LittleEndianDataOutputStream.writeUTF(String s), LittleEndianDataOutputStream.writeChars(String s) or another write method instead.
com.google.common.math.DoubleMath.mean(double...)	Use Stats.meanOf(java.lang.Iterable<? extends java.lang.Number>) instead, noting the less strict handling of non-finite values.
com.google.common.reflect.ImmutableTypeToInstanceMap.put(TypeToken<? extends B>, B)	unsupported operation
com.google.common.reflect.ImmutableTypeToInstanceMap.putAll(Map<? extends TypeToken<? extends B>, ? extends B>)	unsupported operation
com.google.common.reflect.ImmutableTypeToInstanceMap.putInstance(TypeToken<T>, T)	unsupported operation
com.google.common.reflect.MutableTypeToInstanceMap.put(TypeToken<? extends B>, B)	unsupported operation
com.google.common.reflect.MutableTypeToInstanceMap.putAll(Map<? extends TypeToken<? extends B>, ? extends B>)	unsupported operation
com.google.common.util.concurrent.ClosingFuture.eventuallyClosing(ListenableFuture<C>, Executor)	Creating Futures of closeable types is dangerous in general because the underlying value may never be closed if the Future is canceled after its operation begins. Consider replacing code that creates ListenableFutures of closeable types, including those that pass them to this method, with ClosingFuture.submit(ClosingCallable, Executor) in order to ensure that resources do not leak. Or, to start a pipeline with a ListenableFuture that doesn't create values that should be closed, use ClosingFuture.from(com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture<V>).
com.google.common.util.concurrent.FluentFuture.from(FluentFuture<V>)	no need to use this
