Agreed.
I think in the case of GetMasterStats, we don't have any other way to
actually do it via public API now. It would be nice to have something in
the future, but that wouldn't help in the present.

IMO we do not. The thrift interface that we currently have is not easily
consumable (you have to understand a lot about the metadata and cluster
layout), and we don't include it in SemVer. Additional features like
GetMasterStats should be plumbed through to the Java API if we want to
expose them.

Do we intend for our thrift RPC implementation to be consumable as public

This question is inspired by recent "How to get the Accumulo statistic
data" thread over on user@, where we point a user at the GetMasterStats
class.
How stable is that in theory? I understand that in practice it probably
doesn't change much, but I also am not aware that we do anything during
upgrade and compatibility testing to ensure this.
Thoughts?
