Hi Eli, The reason I am looking at HDFS-2246 for 205 is that I and a number of Hadoop and HBase community members really want 205 to have good support for HBase. This performance improvement turns out to be pretty important in order to actually have good support for HBase. In that sense, I'm inclined to consider it a critical fix.
However, I think you have a very valid point about trunk support. Suresh, can we have a concurrent submission to trunk? Also, I believe in the HDFS-2246 Jira, Todd requested extra time to review, due to commitments at Hadoop World. Todd, would Monday be sufficient extra time, so as not to slow down the anticipated release schedule too much?
