[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-9523) Audit of hbase-common @InterfaceAudience.Public apis.

["Jonathan Hsieh (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9523?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13765995#comment-13765995 ] 

Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-9523:
---------------------------------------

Here's a breakdown of all the classes/interfaces/enums/annotations currently public, some that should be public and my opinions on them.

tl;dr Roughly there are these groups which I should be public:
* Core public hbase entities (cell, tablename, namespaces, confguration, etc)
* byte manipulation, ordered byte array types helper methods.

A few are private (because they are static inner classes) but should be made public 
* Base64.*
* Byte.*

These should be private:
* EnvironmentEdge.  Maybe used by apps tests, but I default would be to hiding them.
* simple helper utils (Classes, Methods, etc) -- we don't want to support these for external apps.

> Do an audit of all public classes to make suare we are only publicly exposing what must be exposed.   
> This was done by comparing the Public only version of the javadoc generated by HBASE-9517 to a local javadoc for the hbase-common module (cd hbase-common; mvn javadoc:javadoc).
