IMO, we're almost there w/ the new master. I'd like to wait till Thursday or Friday before making a call. Regards HW, we might consider pressing on with new master even if it means we don't exactly line up a new master 0.89.x (or a 0.90.xRC) release w/ HW. You fellas talking at HW can fudge it some if it comes to that (We won't be the only ones. CDH3 will not be ready for HW apparently). I'm thinking we can afford to take such a position because if someone wants durable hbase now, they can run with the SU-prod 0.89.x that J-D is about to put up. Putting off new master till 0.92 means it'll be maybe 6 months before it appears. During this time we'll be paying a high price keeping up two disparate branches -- TRUNK w/ new master and the release branch -- shoe-horning patches to fit both. We also confuse the 0.90 'message' given we've been talking about new master at HUGs and here on the lists with a good while now. St.Ack
