How about a version that doesn't depend on HBASE-15600 so that we can
continue to support older versions of HBase (and can do a 4.8 release)? What
we've typically done, is once the change makes it to an HBase release, we
update the pom on that version but provide a fallback implementation
(conditional on the HBase version at runtime). Then we document that writes
aren't transactional unless you're using HBase version XXX or above.
