Adopt interface stability/audience classifications from Hadoop
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-4403
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4403
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Affects Versions: 0.92.0, 0.90.5
Reporter: Todd Lipcon
Assignee: Todd Lipcon
As HBase gets more widely used, we need to be more explicit about which APIs
are stable and not expected to break between versions, which APIs are still
evolving, etc. We also have many public classes that are really internal to the
RS or Master and not meant to be used by users. Hadoop has adopted a
classification scheme for audience (public, private, or limited-private) as
well as stability (stable, evolving, unstable). I think we should copy these
annotations to HBase and start to classify our public classes.
