Description
Currently all the exposed Java APIs are mingled together, both those meant for developers writing simple Samza tasks (StreamTask, WindowableTask, SystemStreamPartition, etc.) and those APIs needed for extending Samza itself (CheckpointManager, TaskLifeCycleListener, BlockingEnvelopMap, etc.). The latter group is likely not of use to those needing the former and may clutter and confuse. It would be good to split these, either at the package level, or via annotations (similar to Hadoop's audience annotations).
