Devs: As a good few of you know already, our brother Edward and sisters (Anastasia and Eschar) at Yahoo! Research, Israel -- with help from a good few of you (Ram, Anoop, Duo, Ted, etc.) -- have been working furiously for a good while now on a new feature for 2.0.0 that does In-memory flushes and compaction. They are mostly done and are now finishing up the user-facing [1] and dev-facing [2] documentation. We intend to post both views on the Apache HBase blog.
I am writing because, while our usual style is to just dump notice of the posting into dev/user lists after review by those close-in, I'm writing ahead of the posting petitioning review for two reasons: # There is the obvious, reviews will help improve the quality of the posting. # but, the main reason I am writing is that these samples are a "joy to read", the dev view in particular. I find that it is of a quality I wish we could emulate more frequently hereabouts: terse, clear, clean diagrams, and well reasoned. If you get a chance, take a look. We'll probably post to the blog start of next week.
