------------------------------------
Summary: Purge use of VisibleForTesting
Key: HBASE-24640
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24640
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Components: community
Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
>From the dev-list thread ["[DISCUSS] VisibleForTesting annotation as it
>pertains to our API compatibility
>guidelines"|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rc7c7c66f134fe135d0a4454a883215e26ff3d20e5a31ecd6a2d1db77%40%3Cdev.hbase.apache.org%3E],
> when used in classes annotated with interface audience other than IA.Private,
>the VisibleForTesting annotation is confusing and considered harmful. The
>consensus is that we do not want to use this annotation as part of the
>definition of our public APIs, and we need to remove the point of confusion.
