Aaron T. Myers commented on HADOOP-8152:
----------------------------------------
bq. Do you think the entire class apis should be exposed, or just certain
methods? Opening up the methods will essentially set them in stone so we should
carefully consider if the apis are exactly how we want them.
That seems reasonable to me. Is it acceptable to just leave the class
InterfaceAudience annotations in place, and add more visible annotations to
certain methods? Or is it that the least-visible annotation is the one that
applies? Or would folks prefer that we create a new class or two which just
selectively expose these interfaces?
