Commit Message:

PS4, Line 15: without "polluting" the api and in such a way that we can remove
            : support for this in the future.
> Thanks for weighing in.
Regarding this advanced option API, is an enum constant strong enough? I 
understand how it will surface an API removal as a breakage at compile time, 
but if an existing application binary is used, will the removal manifest as a 
link time error or a run time error?

Regarding API development, I had drafted a response comparing the Linux syscall 
API to Guava and Hadoop's APIs, but I don't think it'll be a productive 
discussion. It's clear to me that I would prefer if unstable APIs in Kudu were 
highly discouraged if not prohibited outright, and if Kudu's API culture were 
more egalitarian (i.e. consumer "weight" didn't play a role in dictating 
exceptions from the "no unstable APIs" rule). But, I appear to be in the 
minority, and this isn't the right forum for that discussion. So consider it 
dropped.
