Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-2998:
---------------------------------------
bq. It's intended for subclassing, so it should be annotated as the public API
that it is.
Why are they public API? When we added these classes the intent was to use it
with in HDFS and not make is available publicly.
> OfflineImageViewer and ImageVisitor should be annotated public

> The ImageVisitor class should similarly be annotated public (evolving is
> fine). Note that it should also be changed to be public; it's currently
> package-private, which means that users have to cheat with their subclass
> package name.
