Ok, Given that 4.8.0 RC is taking time , we can fork 4.8-HBase-x.y branches so that new features and bugs target for future releases(4.9+) can be committed in 4.x branches and master.
Whatever is targeted for 4.8.0 needs to be committed in all 8 branches(three 4.x branches , master, four 4.8-HBase-x.y) as all 4.8 releases(including 4.8.0 or 4.8.x) will be done from 4.8-HBase-x.y branches. I'll create the following new branches tomorrow morning IST, 4.8-HBase-0.98 (from 4.x-HBase-0.98) 4.8-HBase-1.0 (from 4.x-HBase-1.0) 4.8-HBase-1.1 (from 4.x-HBase-1.1) 4.8-HBase-1.2 (from master) Let's discuss if someone has any concerns.
