Way to completely miss the point, Konstantin. This is not at all about HBase doing one thing or another. Points to you for twisting the argument. This was about me asking, essentially, if anything is different this time around with 0.22 versus what we all -- outside of core -- saw with 0.21.
It would be interesting to hear about plans for using 0.22 over at eBay. A legalistic non-response is not particularly interesting nor relevant. This may be the manner of discussion over on general@ but I hope we can avoid this kind of stuff on the HBase lists.
