Package org.apache.hadoop.classification

Class InterfaceStability

java.lang.Object
org.apache.hadoop.classification.InterfaceStability
@Public @Evolving public class InterfaceStability extends Object
Annotation to inform users of how much to rely on a particular package, class or method not changing over time. Currently the stability can be InterfaceStability.Stable, InterfaceStability.Evolving or InterfaceStability.Unstable.
  • All classes that are annotated with InterfaceAudience.Public or InterfaceAudience.LimitedPrivate must have InterfaceStability annotation.
  • Classes that are InterfaceAudience.Private are to be considered unstable unless a different InterfaceStability annotation states otherwise.
  • Incompatible changes must not be made to classes marked as stable.
