Deprecated Interfaces

Interface and Description
com.google.common.util.concurrent.FutureFallback This interface's main user, Futures.withFallback, has been updated to use AsyncFunction. We recommend that other APIs be updated in the same way. This interface will be removed in Guava release 20.0.
com.google.common.io.InputSupplier For InputSupplier<? extends InputStream>, use ByteSource instead. For InputSupplier<? extends Reader>, use CharSource. Implementations of InputSupplier that don't fall into one of those categories do not benefit from any of the methods in common.io and should use a different interface. This interface is scheduled for removal in December 2015.
com.google.common.collect.MapConstraint Use Preconditions for basic checks. In place of constrained maps, we encourage you to check your preconditions explicitly instead of leaving that work to the map implementation. For the specific case of rejecting null, consider ImmutableMap. This class is scheduled for removal in Guava 20.0.
com.google.common.io.OutputSupplier For OutputSupplier<? extends OutputStream>, use ByteSink instead. For OutputSupplier<? extends Writer>, use CharSink. Implementations of OutputSupplier that don't fall into one of those categories do not benefit from any of the methods in common.io and should use a different interface. This interface is scheduled for removal in December 2015.

Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
com.google.common.collect.MapConstraints Use Preconditions for basic checks. In place of constrained maps, we encourage you to check your preconditions explicitly instead of leaving that work to the map implementation. For the specific case of rejecting null, consider ImmutableMap. This class is scheduled for removal in Guava 20.0.
com.google.common.base.Objects.ToStringHelper Use MoreObjects.ToStringHelper instead. This class is scheduled for removal in June 2016.

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.io.ByteArrayDataOutput.writeBytes(String) This method is dangerous as it discards the high byte of every character. For UTF-8, use write(s.getBytes(Charsets.UTF_8)).
