Andrew Kyle Purtell commented on HBASE-23640:
---------------------------------------------
In past discussions I have been a part of, we don't consider anything in test/
a public API. The class in question then was the RemoteTable *test helper*
class that someone wanted to use as a public/supported client class for the
REST API. Test code is test code, stability annotations are not meaningful.
What I would suggest is refactoring what you want into a new maven module, put
it under src/ instead of test/, and decorate the interfaces you desire to be
public and stable with the appropriate annotation. Like what Nick said above.
Then we have a way to move forward.
For the record I am -1 any thought of making anything under test/ "public"
