> From Nicholas, at the tail of HDFS-1120:
> {quote}
> However, if we annotate it as public, all the classes associated with them
> should also be annotated as public. Also, whenever we change the interface or
> any of the associated classes, it is an incompatible change.
> In our case, BlockVolumeChoosingPolicy uses FSVolumeInterface, which is a
> part of FSDatasetInterface. In FSDatasetInterface, there are many classes
> should not be exposed. One way to solve it is to make FSVolumeInterface
> independent of FSDatasetInterface. However, FSVolumeInterface is not yet a
> well-designed interface for the public.
> For these reasons, it is justified to annotate it as private, the same as
> BlockPlacementPolicy.
> {quote}
> We should switch BlockVolumeChoosingPolicy to for a private audience.
