Hadoop註解InterfaceAudience InterfaceStability

Hadoop註解InterfaceAudience InterfaceStability

最近學習Hadoop時，看到InputFormat上面兩個註解，是以前沒有見過的，做一個簡單記錄
@InterfaceAudience.Public
@InterfaceStability.Stable

1. InterfaceAudience

@InterfaceAudience.Public
@InterfaceStability.Evolving
public class InterfaceAudience {
  /**
   * Intended for use by any project or application.
   */
  @Documented
  @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
  public @interface Public {};
  
  /**
   * Intended only for the project(s) specified in the annotation.
   * For example, "Common", "HDFS", "MapReduce", "ZooKeeper", "HBase".
   */
  @Documented
  @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
  public @interface LimitedPrivate {
    String[] value();
  };
  
  /**
   * Intended for use only within Hadoop itself.
   */
  @Documented
  @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
  public @interface Private {};

  private InterfaceAudience() {} // Audience can't exist on its own
}

從源碼中可以看出，InterfaceAudience有3個類型，用來說明被註解的類使用的作用範圍

Public：可以給任何項目和應用程序使用

LimitedPrivate：僅僅可以使用在“Common”、“HDFS”、“MapReduce”、“ZooKeeper”、“HBase”

Private：僅僅可以在Hadoop本身內使用

2. InterfaceStability

從源碼可以看出，InterfaceStability有3個類型，用來說明被註解的類的穩定性

Stable：說明主版本是穩定的，不同主版本之間可能不兼容

Evolving：說明在不停的變化，不同小版本之間也可能不兼容

UnStable：無法保證其可靠性和穩定性
