[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-8546) Ensuring InterfaceAudience is added to Hadoop Core classes used by HBase

["Suresh Srinivas (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8546?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13658101#comment-13658101 ] 

Suresh Srinivas commented on HBASE-8546:
----------------------------------------

On a quick review, I found another class org.apache.hadoop.util.StringUtils explicitly declared as InterfaceAudience.private used in HBase. I will create a jira in Hadoop change it into limited private audience.

> InterfaceAudience classification was added in HADOOP-5073. Some of the classes that are not tagged as InterfaceAudience public or limited private may have been used in HBase - see one such example - HADOOP-9563.
> This jira is for:
> - Discussing how we could avoid this type of issues - say add unit tests in HBase?
> - Find other such classes not tagged as public in Hadoop and tag them in Hadoop as LimitedPrivate.
