Just to make sure we are on the same page. Hadoop requires backward
compatibility for minor releases. So please NO breaking! As I look at it we
cannot break compatibility ever: we can only add new methods, parameters, etc.
and deprecate old ones.
Package-private is not a part of API, so it can change.

This is not generally correct. While it is true for Public/Stable interfaces,
it is not for Evolving interfaces. Please see the published [Hadoop
compatibility
guidelines|https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/InterfaceClassification.html#Evolving]:
{quote}
Evolving
An Evolving interface is typically exposed so that users or external code can
make use of a feature before it has stabilized. The expectation that an
interface should “eventually” stabilize and be promoted to Stable, however, is
not a requirement for the interface to be labeled as Evolving.
Incompatible changes are allowed for Evolving interface only at minor releases.
Incompatible changes allowed: minor (x.Y.0) Compatible changes allowed:
maintenance (x.y.Z)

> In HDFS-12977, DFSClient's constructor was altered to make use of a new
> static method in Client that allowed one to set an AlignmentContext. This
> work is to remove that static field and make each DFSClient pass it's
> AlignmentContext down to the proxy Call level.
