All effort will be made to provide a de HBase has a lot of API points, but for the compatibility matrix above, we differentiate between Client API, Limited Private API, and Private API. HBase uses a version of link:https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/Compatibility.html[Hadoop's Interface classification]. HBase's Interface classification classes can be found link:https://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/classification/package-summary.html[here]. -* InterfaceAudience: captures the intended audience, possible values are Public (for end users and external projects), LimitedPrivate (for other Projects, Coprocessors or other plugin points), and Private (for internal use). +* InterfaceAudience: captures the intended audience, possible values are Public (for end users and external projects), LimitedPrivate (for other Projects, Coprocessors or other plugin points), and Private (for internal use). Notice that, you may find that the classes which are declared as IA.Private are used as parameter or return value for the interfaces which are declared as IA.LimitedPrivate. This is possible. You should treat the IA.Private object as a monolithic object, which means you can use it as a parameter to call other methods, or return it, but you should never try to access its methods or fields. * InterfaceStability: describes what types of interface changes are permitted. Possible values are Stable, Evolving, Unstable, and Deprecated. Notice that this annotation is only valid for classes which are marked as IA.LimitedPrivate. The stability of IA.Public classes is only related to the upgrade type(major, minor or patch). And for IA.Private classes, there is no guarantee on the stability between releases. Refer to the Compatibility Matrix above for more details. [[hbase.client.api]]
