Yes, I will probably have time to review it by Monday. But the
review-time concern is separate from the concern about which version
this should go into.

Calling this a "critical fix" for HBase is a bit strange as 99.9% of
the HBase installs out there do not use it. Trend Micro and Facebook
are the only ones I'm aware of that do. And the patch as it stands
today has a very suspect security model...
