Aaron T. Myers updated HADOOP-8152:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: HADOOP-8152.patch
Here's a patch which addresses the issue. Let me summarize the changes:
* Both UserGroupInformation and SecurityUtil are currently marked
InterfaceAudience.LimitedPrivate("HDFS", "MapReduce") and
InterfaceStability.Evolving. This is unchanged.
* This patch adds InterfaceAudience.Public and InterfaceStability.Evolving
annotations to getCurrentUser, getLoginUser, createRemoteUser, createProxyUser,
and both variants of doAs in UserGroupInformation.
* This patch adds InterfaceAudience.Public and InterfaceStability.Evolving
annotations to both variants of the method "login" in SecurityUtil.
* This patch removes two cases of individual methods being marked
InterfaceAudience.LimitedPrivate("HDFS", "MapReduce") in UserGroupInformation.
Since the class is already annotated the same way, these seemed redundant.
My understanding of the nature of the InterfaceAudience and InterfaceStability
annotations is that the most-specific annotation is what applies. Thus, just
increasing the InterfaceAudience visibility of these methods should be
sufficient for the purposes of dependent projects.
The methods that I chose here are the ones that I'm aware of dependent projects
using. If others are aware of more, I'd be happy to add them to this patch.

> Currently projects like Hive and HBase use UserGroupInformation and
> SecurityUtil methods. Both of these classes are marked
> LimitedPrivate(HDFS,MR) but should probably be marked more generally public.
