Alan Gates commented on HADOOP-6677:
------------------------------------
The thing I like about having a component name associated with the limited
private interface is it tells developers who depends on that interface. So if
they want to change it they know who to talk to. But I don't see it as
critical. If others feel it's better removed, I'm ok with that.
> InterfaceAudience.LimitedPrivate should take a string not an enum

> Key: HADOOP-6677
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6677
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.21.0
> Reporter: Alan Gates
> Priority: Minor
>
> Trying to keep the list of all possible components sharing limited private
> interfaces up to date is painful. As other subprojects beyond HDFS and MR
> use this interface it will only get worse (see PIG-1311). If it is converted
> to a string other subprojects can use it without requiring patches to common.
