Re: Public vs internal APIs

Actually I would go with a really flat structure, so we can simply use "default" and "public" visibility of classes to distinguish between API and implementation. If more structure is wanted, we could use "org.postgresql" vs. "org.postgresql.internal" to make it more clear which classes are private and which are published.

Unfortunately Java has no "friends" declaration. :-(

package-private is not enough.
Java9 will have modules for that, however we would have to live with
java8 for a while.

Which package would you suggest for org.postgresql.util.LruCache?
