The comment is there to tell someone reading the code that this field is a `var` and not private just because test code (SparkSubmitSuite in this case) needs to modify it, otherwise it wouldn't exist or would be private. Similar in spirit to this annotation: http://guava-libraries.googlecode.com/svn/tags/release09/javadoc/com/google/common/annotations/VisibleForTesting.html (Which I'd probably have used in this case, but is not really common in Spark code.) -- Marcelo --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@spark.apache.org
