I have created branches 4.4-HBase-0.98 branch off of the 4.x-HBase-0.98 branch that matches the point at which the release was cut. Similarly created 4.4-HBase-1.0 off of the 4.x-HBase-1.0.
Only bug fixes need to be committed for 4.4-HBase-0.98 and 4.4-HBase-1.0 branches. Please let me know before commiting. If any critical issue don't wait for me go and commit. If any bug fixes committed to 4.x versions or master after RC please port them for these releases. Thanks, Rajeshbabu.
