Tom White commented on HADOOP-6677:
-----------------------------------

I agree we can discuss a change in semantics elsewhere. I'll commit this 
tomorrow (Monday) as it will be good to get this change in before they appear 
in a release, and we start applying the annotations more widely in HADOOP-6668 
and MAPREDUCE-1623.

> Trying to keep the list of all possible components sharing limited private 
> interfaces up to date is painful.  As other subprojects beyond HDFS and MR 
> use this interface it will only get worse (see PIG-1311).  If it is converted 
> to a string other subprojects can use it without requiring patches to common.
