tl;dr rah-rah hbase dev of late!
(You should probably skip the below because it is just a bunch of small stuff and probably says more about my limited horizons than it does about anything else) Long Version: First, look at our fix vs close rate: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE It is going in the 'right' direction for the first time in a long time. Second, please notice that 0.95 and trunk are now teetering about to go over to a new state where they pass more often than fail. Thanks to nkeywal in particular for his digging, to Andrew for setting up ec2 build box, and to all folks who have been doing unit test forensics and fixing of late (Matteo, Jimmy, Ram, Rajesh, etc.). Third, I am in awe of the volley that went on in this issue in particular: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7824 The quality of the review and then the receptiveness and reaction of the contributor with the odd visit by a third party with another POV was a joy to watch. Fourth, the <24hour turnaround on the release of 0.94.6.1.... ... and so on. Keep up the great work all, St.Ack
