Description

org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.web.oauth2.AccessTokenProvider#getAccessToken() and org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.web.oauth2.CredentialBasedAccessTokenProvider#getCredential() abstract methods are having default scope.
Unfortunately, it restricts the users from having the custom implementations of these classes in a different package.
So, the proposal is to change scope of these abstract methods to public.
