I'm trying to put a fence around the 0.96.0 release. I've done a few passes but there are still way too many issues filed against it. Please review and move out what you think can wait untill 0.98 [1]. I'm thinking blockers and criticals should make 0.96 and no more.
The main attributes of 0.96.0 as I see it are: + Protobufs anywhere we persist (to the filesystem, to zookeeper, over the wire, etc.) + Hadoop 1.0.0 is a requirement + You can run 0.96 on Hadoop 2.0.x + Runs on jdk7 + All tests pass most of the time (instead of what we currently have where unit tests all pass on rare occasion) What else? + Snapshots? Thanks, St.Ack 1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE/fixforversion/12320040#selectedTab=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project%3Aversion-issues-panel
