> We're not releasing a new rc tonight, it seems really weird to hold up a bug fix to try and hit some unknown, and un-agreed upon, deadline. There is no deadline, but we cannot hold the RC for non-blocker patches especially once the release candidate process has begun. We are not going to solve every bug in existence (look at HBASE-9721 for example) in HBase. In the usual case for a release, once an RC is cut, you do not want to destabilize by adding risky patches and continue on this kind cat and mouse game. Note that 9696 did not hold up the cut for the previous RC, why should it hold it now?
> To me it feels like HBASE-9724 should go into 0.96 I am fine with committing HBASE-9724. I did not commit that yesterday since I though we should be doing an RC and I did not want last minute fixes to AM. Let's get 9724 and a solution for 9563 in. Would that work?
