/**
 * Indicates a public API that can change at any time, and has no guarantee of API stability and
 * backward-compatibility. If users want stabilization or signature change of a specific API that
 * is currently annotated {@code @ExperimentalApi}, please comment on its tracking issue on github
 * with rationale, usecase, and so forth, so that the gRPC team may prioritize the process toward
 * stabilization of the API.
 *
 * Usage guidelines:
 * 

 * This annotation is used only on public API. Internal interfaces should not use it.
 * After gRPC has gained API stability, this annotation can only be added to new API. Adding it
 * to an existing API is considered API-breaking.
 * Removing this annotation from an API gives it stable status.
 * 
 *
 * Note: This annotation is intended only for gRPC library code. Users should not attach this
 * annotation to their own code.
 *
 * See: grpc-java-api-checker, an
 * Error Prone plugin to automatically check for usages of this API.
