Mike Drob commented on ACCUMULO-2590:
-------------------------------------
Do we need to make explicit that public inner classes are public API all the
way down? i.e. if an inner class has an inner class, the inner-inner class will
still be public, and so on.
> Update public API in readme to clarify what's included

> Key: ACCUMULO-2590
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2590
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: docs
> Reporter: Sean Busbey
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.6.0
>
>
> Due to confusion expressed on the mailing list, edit the README section on
> the public API to make unambiguous:
> # the list of packages included (e.g. "all packages under
> org.apache.accumulo.core.client, save those named 'impl'")
> # that public Classes and Interfaces in those packages are covered
> # that within said Classes and Interfaces, we include
> ## public and protected members
> ## public and protected methods
> ## public and protected constructors
> ## public and protected inner Classes and Interfaces
> And that "compatibility" means binary compatibility as defined in the [Java
> Language Spec v3, Chapter
> 13|http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se5.0/html/binaryComp.html]
