Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-5073: ------------------------------------------------ > Clearly, Nicholas would like 2. Personally, I think we should do 1. Having > the annotations flow down is problematic if it flows from public interfaces > into the private implementations.... Yes, I prefer 2 but I am open to 1. BTW, should the value (or target) of LimitedPrivate be enum? Otherwise, someone may incorrectly annotate something with typos like the following: {code} @Audience.LimitedPrivate({"Pi", "Owl", "Zebra"}) //Oops, it is supposed to be used by the Pig project, //not the Pi programs. public class HelloWorld { } {code} > Hadoop 1.0 Interface Classification - scope (visibility - public/private) and > stability > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5073 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5073 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Sanjay Radia > Assignee: Sanjay Radia > Attachments: 5073_demo.png, c5073_20090825.patch, c5073_20090825.png, > HADOOP-5073.patch, Nested.png, Picture 1.png > > > This jira proposes an interface classification for hadoop interfaces. > The discussion was started in email alias core-...@hadoop.apache.org in Nov > 2008. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
