I found the 'text' for Mingjie's CP blog here: http://blog.csdn.net/macyang/article/details/6425628. We should wrap this into the manual before it disappears. The Internet Archive has the hbaseblog.com homepage and a few of the articles we had posted there: http://web.archive.org/web/20110207202749/http://hbaseblog.com/ (but not CP article of course but we should roll in Gary's article on Security too?).
