Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-9523:
-------------------------------------

bq. HConstants // ??

I think {{HConstants}} can be left public; let's save our users the headache of 
fat-fingering some config property name if we already have a constant for it.

bq. OrderedBlobVar // currently private, not sure why. Nick Dimiduk?

Looks like I missed one; it should match all the other types.

bq. OrderedBytes // looks like part of types 

This is an implementation detail for types, but can stay public I think. I'd 
rather a user have direct access to those utilities if they need it while these 
APIs are still Experimental. I see it as analogous to {{Bytes}}.

bq. ByteRange *, PositionedByteRange *

These are exposed via DataType and need to remain public interfaces. Likewise, 
SimpleByteRange and PositionedByteRange are the only implementations of these 
interfaces available currently, so I they stay public too.

> Do an audit of all public classes to make suare we are only publicly exposing 
> what must be exposed.   
> This was done by comparing the Public only version of the javadoc generated 
> by HBASE-9517 to a local javadoc for the hbase-common module (cd 
> hbase-common; mvn javadoc:javadoc).
