             Summary: Classify public APIs between job-writers and framework-extenders
                 Key: SAMZA-295
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SAMZA-295
             Project: Samza
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Jakob Homan
             Fix For: 0.8.0


Currently all the exposed Java APIs are mingled together, both those meant for developers writing simple Samza tasks (StreamTask, WindowableTask, SystemStreamPartition, etc.) and those APIs needed for extending Samza itself (CheckpointManager, TaskLifeCycleListener, BlockingEnvelopMap, etc.).  The latter group is likely not of use to those needing the former and may clutter and confuse.  It would be good to split these, either at the package level, or via annotations (similar to [Hadoop's audience annotations|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5073]).
