-----------------------------------

             Summary: Introduce a "VisibleForTesting" annotation
                 Key: FLINK-4431
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-4431
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
            Assignee: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 1.2.0


I suggest to introduce a {{VisibleForTesting}} annotation in the {{flink-annotations}} project.

Adding this annotation to methods that are really only in place for testing is very useful feature. Currently, we depend on Guava for that. Having a guava dependency for a documentation annotation class seems a bit much.
