@Public @Evolving public class InterfaceStability extends Object

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.

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