Andrew Purtell commented on HADOOP-8152:
----------------------------------------
+1 on promoting these interfaces to public, at least the methods in common use
across subprojects now.

At least on the HBase side, I'll [Andrew Purtell] take the pain once to rework
our related sources if the APIs on their way to stability make one more change.
However, it would be preferable to avoid further need for hacks. Use of
reflection can ride over an API in transition, but it can also punt breakage
due to API change to runtime, where we'd least like to see it for the first
time.

Relevant here I think.
