> need to annotate which API is considered public using something like
> @InterfaceAudience.Public
> @InterfaceStability.Evolving
> Currently this is what is considered (at a minimum) public API
> HCatLoader
> HCatStorer
> HCatInputFormat
> HCatOutputFormat
> HCatReader
> HCatWriter
> HCatRecord
> HCatSchema
> This is needed so that clients/dependent projects know which API they can rely on and which can change w/o notice.
