Hello, It appears from http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/HdfsSyncSupport that for more than at least the latest year, durable edits haven't been supported by the main branch of HBase & HDFS - only by a non-main branch, an unreleased branch and a third-party distribution.
This seems strange to me, as http://hbase.apache.org/acid-semantics.html seems to claim that durability is present, without indicating that it's actually not, by default (part of the page looks like a plan, not like a claim about the current state of things, which is also confusing). Is this because durable edits are not that much of a needed feature? [Disclaimer: I've not done much with HBase and Hadoop in general in a while, so I may be asking questions completely stupid in the current context] -- Eugene Kirpichov Principal Engineer, Mirantis Inc. http://www.mirantis.com/ Editor, http://fprog.ru/
