unfortunately no, not currently.

presuming you do not wish to maintain a forked release line of hbase,
getting this done would require

1) figuring out precisely how our downstream users would be impacted
by updating to jetty 9. I presume Jetty 6 -> Jetty 9 is not backwards
compatible, so how often is the use of jetty 6 exposed to those
running HBase?

2) Start a DISCUSS thread about the trade off between the above impact
in 1 vs the risk of running the version of jetty we're running now

3) Iff the DISCUSS thread has consensus, do the work to update to
jetty 9 for some future minor release of HBase 1


There is some precedent for us forcing incompatible changes on
downstream in a minor release of HBase. The big one is Hadoop, where
we gave up on keeping compat with older Hadoop release lines because
that project stopped issuing updates.
