/**
 * Denotes that the annotated method uses an experimental API that swaps the default threading
 * implementation with a user-defined threading implementation.
 *
 * <p>These APIs may not always be compatible with all user-defined implementations. For example.
 * using a main thread executor, such as the one returned by
 * {@link androidx.core.content.ContextCompat#getMainExecutor(android.content.Context)} may cause
 * undesired behavior such as causing the app's UI to stutter.
 *
 * <p>CameraX often provides default threading implementations that are optimized for the given
 * API, so customizing threads should only be done by advanced users with very specific threading
 * requirements.
