Sanjay Radia commented on HADOOP-9517:
--------------------------------------
bq. Shouldn't the proto files themselves be classified as public and stable?
If you mean the wire protocol proto files, then no. They are not public as we
have not made the protocol itself public; we may do that at some point and at
that time we would make them public. At this stage we have merely promised to
maintain wire compatibility going forward. Right now the proto files should be
marked as private-stable.
