     Release Note: 
Adds below change to our compat guarantees:

{code}
-* Example: A user using a newly deprecated api does not need to modify application code with hbase api calls until the next major version.
 10 +* New APIs introduced in a patch version will only be added in a source compatible way footnote:[See 'Source Compatibility' https://blogs.oracle.com/darcy/entry/kinds_of_compatibility]: i.e.     code that implements public APIs will continue to compile.
