Tsz Wo Nicholas Sze commented on HDFS-6168:
-------------------------------------------
When talking about API compatibility, it is only about public APIs but not
private (or LimitedPrivate) APIs. DistributedFileSystem is similar to
DFSClient. They are not public APIs. User applications should not use them
directly. If they do, they should expect to change their code across releases
since these classes are unstable. BTW, the methods removed in this JIRA were
deprecated for a long time.
