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

> Such a feature would be useful to enforce MAPREDUCE-1637. It might also be 
> useful for users who wish to check their programs don't use Evolving APIs. 
> It could be implemented using an annotation processor:
