Sergio Peña commented on HIVE-17129: ------------------------------------ {{MetaStoreEventListener}} is used by other components, so this must be public. Regarding {{ListenerEvent}}, I don't know. It is not used directly, but is used by inherited objects that {{MetaStoreEventListener}} uses, such as {{CreateTableEvent}}. How does this work? If you mark {{ListenerEvent}} as private, then can users use {{CreateTableEvent}} for instance? > Increase usage of InterfaceAudience and InterfaceStability annotations > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-17129 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17129 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Sahil Takiar > Assignee: Sahil Takiar > > The {{InterfaceAudience}} and {{InterfaceStability}} annotations were added a > while ago to mark certain classes as available for public use. However, they > were only added to a few classes. The annotations are largely missing for > major APIs such as the SerDe and UDF APIs. We should update these interfaces > to use these annotations. > When done in conjunction with HIVE-17130, we should have an automated way to > prevent backwards incompatible changes to Hive APIs. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
