/**
 * A class that is considered private to the internals of Spark -- there is a high-likelihood
 * they will be changed in future versions of Spark.
 *
 * This should be used only when the standard Scala / Java means of protecting classes are
 * insufficient.  In particular, Java has no equivalent of private[spark], so we use this annotation
 * in its place.
 *
 * NOTE: If there exists a Scaladoc comment that immediately precedes this annotation, the first
 * line of the comment must be ":: Private ::" with no trailing blank line. This is because
 * of the known issue that Scaladoc displays only either the annotation or the comment, whichever
 * comes first.
