Reading through HDFS-9924, a request for a design doc- and a -1 on committing to trunk- was raised in mid-May, but commits to trunk continued. Why is that? Shouldn't this have paused while the details were discussed? Branching is neutral to the pace of feature development, but consensus on the result is required. Working through possibilities in a branch- or in multiple branches- seems like a reasonable way to determine which approach has support and code to back it.
Reverting code is not "illegal"; the feature will be in/out of any release by appealing to bylaws. Our rules exist to facilitate consensus, not declare it a fiat accompli. An RM only exists by creating an RC. Someone can declare themselves Grand Marshall of trunk and stomp around in a fancy hat, but it doesn't affect anything. -C On Mon, Jun 6, 2016 at 9:36 AM, Junping Du <j...@hortonworks.com> wrote: > Thanks Aaron for pointing it out.
