[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-12913) Drop the @LimitedPrivate maker off UGI, as its clearly untrue

["Jason Lowe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12913?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15189332#comment-15189332 ] 

Jason Lowe commented on HADOOP-12913:
-------------------------------------

+1, sounds good to me.  IMHO LimitedPrivate has little utility given we now support rolling upgrades.  Changing anything marked LimitedPrivate in a backwards-incompatible way usually has the same ramifications of doing the same to something marked Public, because normally nobody is willing to break the listed downstream projects upgrading their cluster.  And like this case, it's often difficult or impossible to develop "real" applications without using a lot of the things marked LimitedPrivate which is why those downstream projects use them.

> UGI declares itself as
> {code}
> {@InterfaceAudience.LimitedPrivate({"HDFS", "MapReduce", "HBase", "Hive", "Oozie"})
> {code}
> Really its "any application that interacts with services in a secure cluster". 
> I propose: replace with {{@Public, @Evolving}}
