Description

Hadoop has interface classification regarding the interfaces' scope and stability. ZK should do something similar, which not only provides additional benefits of making API compatibility easier between releases (or even commits, by automating the checks via some tooling), but also consistent with rest of Hadoop ecosystem.

See HADOOP-5073 for more context.
