Eli Collins commented on HADOOP-8152:
-------------------------------------
I agree the UGI methods should be annotated public since, per Harsh, we provide
user-facing documentation on how to use them. I would extend the
@InterfaceAudience for UGI to include HBase, Hive and Oozie since these are
"closely related projects" that use UGI that we don't want to break, or
alternatively add a class-level comment to this effect so people understand why
we're calling out specific methods as public in a limited private class. I
agree w/ the overall approach, and otherwise the patch looks good to me.

> 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.
