Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-8152:
------------------------------------------
Lots of things are documented via javadoc that we likely wouldn't want anyone
to use. There are also lots of things that are not documented (properly) in
javadoc that we actually want people to use. See the compression codec
interfaces, for example.
I'm speaking specifically of
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r1.0.0/Secure_Impersonation.html as
pointed out by Harsh.

> SecurityUtil methods. Both of these classes are marked
