I propose that we create a branch to continue the standalone metastore work in. So far we’ve been doing it in master one patch at a time. However, the speed that we can produce patches outstrips the speed at which we can get them reviewed, fully tested, and into master. I would like to put those patches in a branch so that others can review and contribute, while not inflicting the not yet reviewed patches on master.
I am not proposing to do all the development in the branch with a big-bang commit/merge at the end. That will painful for everyone. We will continue to move patches into master one at a time. This means we’ll be rebasing the branch from time to time. Thoughts? If there aren’t any objections I’ll do this in a few days. Alan.
