Should we make it so hbase 0.96.0 requires at least hadoop 1.0.0? This would mean we would no longer support running on older versions such as branch-0.20-append (and perhaps stuff like CDH2?)?
Requiring Hadoop 1.0.0 at least means we can presume security and append. We also narrow the set of hadoops we need to support simplifying things for ourselves some. What you lot think? St.Ack
