Class InterfaceStability

java.lang.Object

org.apache.carbondata.common.annotations.InterfaceStability

@InterfaceAudience.User
 @InterfaceStability.Evolving
public class InterfaceStability
extends Object

This annotation is ported and modified from Apache Hadoop project. Annotation to inform users of how much to rely on a particular package, class or method not changing over time. Currently the stability can be InterfaceStability.Stable, InterfaceStability.Evolving or InterfaceStability.Unstable.
1. InterfaceStability.Stable means compatibility can break only at major release (m.0) 2. InterfaceStability.Evolving means compatibility can break at minor release (m.x) 3. InterfaceStability.Unstable means compatibility can break at any release

• All classes that are annotated with InterfaceAudience.User or InterfaceAudience.Developer must have InterfaceStability annotation.
• Classes that are InterfaceAudience.Internal are to be considered unstable unless a different InterfaceStability annotation states otherwise.
• Incompatible changes must not be made to classes marked as stable.
