Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-8152:
------------------------------------------
We should only mark the methods that are *specifically* called out in the
documentation, not nearly as many as this patch does. I'm pretty much -1 on
any patch that marks undocumented methods as public.
Additionally, since HBase, Hive, and Oozie are using methods that are private
without communicating their need beforehand, I see no reason to change the
InterfaceAudience. Using the methods, doing a release, and then asking for
forgiveness is inexcusable. They could have easily have asked us to change
prior to them doing a release. Since they didn't, they clearly don't care
about the stability levels.

> SecurityUtil methods. Both of these classes are marked
