-- refdata/features now in utils/codecs with the other codecs
-- Deleted dbsnpHelper. rsID function now in VCFutils. Remaining code either deleted or put into VariantContextAdaptors
-- Many associated import updates due to code move
-- Cleaning up old interface to RMDT, docs and contracts added
-- Proper type checking for RodBinding for cases where the Tribble type isn't found or is the wrong type
On the path towards converging getVariantContext() and getValues() in tracker so that we can have a single approach to get values from RODs with the new RodBinding() types
Renamed many functions to more clearly state what they are actually doing
Removed unnecessary / unused functionality, reducing interface complexity
Updated all uses of this code in GATK
Added generic, type-safe accessors to RefMetaDataTracker such as public <T> List<T> getValues(final String name, Class<T> clazz)
Added standard refMetaDataTracker accessors to RodBinding, so you can do everything you can for generic rods with the tracker directly with with the RodBinding
Removing unused files RODRecordIterator, ReferenceOrderedData, QueryableTrack, RMDTrackCreationException, GATKFeatureIterator, ReferenceOrderedDataUnitTest
Refactored dbSNP and refseq utilities to be closer to the other files implementing these features
