Sanjay Radia commented on HADOOP-6668: -------------------------------------- > PositionedReadable, Seekable and Syncable: The definitions of the methods are in the PositionedReadable, Seekable and Syncable Java interfaces. The definitions of the methods are needed in the user javadoc; only APis's marked as audience public appear in the user javadoc. The user can reasonably expect to lookup an extended interfaces of an audience-public API. The only way to avoid this is to actually copy the method signatures but not extend the interfaces. Unless we are prepared to do that, I think we are stuck with making them audience public. Hairong is probably right that the originally these interfaces were targeted for the implementor. > Apply audience and stability annotations to classes in common > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6668 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6668 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: documentation > Reporter: Tom White > Assignee: Tom White > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: common.interface-tw-annotated.txt, HADOOP-6668.patch, > HADOOP-6668.patch, HADOOP-6668.patch, HADOOP-6668.patch, HADOOP-6668.patch, > HADOOP-6668.patch, HADOOP-6668.patch, HADOOP-6668.patch > > > Mark private implementation classes with the InterfaceAudience.Private or > InterfaceAudience.LimitedPrivate annotation to exclude them from user Javadoc > and JDiff. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
