> What are the gate criteria on moving the stable pointer? We were waiting on feedback from Mikhail or Gary. Last I heard was it was fine over there, except one use case would trigger occasional regionserver aborts due to FNFE in storefile handling. HBASE-19728 is the latest to fix issues around storefile locking. These are getting harder to find, so the answer as to the stability of 1.3 is it is getting better, and might be good enough. Someone needs to step forward and make a credible claim to that effect. Where I work we are rolling out something based on 1.3. It is a heavy lift because most of our production is still on 0.98 and there are some nontrivial differences. We are making progress. Once we have been stable at a high scale location for several months I'll write in to claim it stable. If someone else is using 1.3 your feedback would be very valuable. In our acceptance testing 1.3 survived tests where 1.1 and 1.2 fell over, for what it's worth.
> You've been putting in a lot of hours into release duties already, Andrew, let's hope that somebody else is available I'm sure someone can step in if need be. Thanks for volunteering to run a release, though. Any time you'd like to do that I'll be happy to help you run through it if you need assistance. make_rc.sh mostly automates the process. I think all committers who have an interest in running a release should do it. It's good experience doing the one activity more than just about any other that moves the project forward. However I don't mind being RM. I enjoy it. I missed it after retiring 0.98. Getting 2.0 out is super important. I can keep the legacy code branches in good order with steady releases in the meantime.
