Bill Zeller commented on HADOOP-5073:
-------------------------------------
If all methods of a subclass are not explicitly documented, I worry that it
will become difficult to program against the code directly (without looking at
generated javadoc). For example, I imagine needing to trace a method's
ancestors or class hierarchy to determine its classification. Would it be too
difficult or bloated to add public/stable (etc) to every applicable method?
