Chris Douglas commented on HADOOP-10383:
----------------------------------------
It's a static check intended for auditing API compatibility, so adding the
extra information at runtime is avoidable. I don't know of any practical issues
with runtime retention, but it's not necessary, either.
Annotations are also used at compile-time; the reflection API is one way of
accessing a subset of them. If it's awkward to implement then no problem, just
wanted to raise it as an alternative...
