Enis Soztutar commented on HADOOP-10383:
----------------------------------------
I tried to list give some justification in HBASE-10374. Mainly, this is
relevant in a unit test context, where we are doing a "check all public classes
have InterfaceAnnotation in client modules as a unit test". The other use case
is similar in that there will be a unit test which checks whether the annotated
public API's have changed from the previous release version.
I have not tried the tools API, but using the reflection API is the standard
way of accessing the annotations. What is the downside of having Runtime
retention?
