Tom White commented on HADOOP-6676: ----------------------------------- I'm not sure we can use an annotation processor for this, since (by my reading) they process annotations that appear in the source being compiled, rather than annotations that are _referenced_ by the source being compiled. Anyone got any suggestions for how this might be implemented? > Create a javac plugin that produces warnings for programs using Evolving APIs > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6676 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6676 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Tom White > > Such a feature would be useful to enforce MAPREDUCE-1637.
