@arunmahadevan Yes, I will share the results of my testing and will test
for backward compatibility.
I don't have high hopes for backward compatibility based on
https://hbase.apache.org/book.html#hbase.versioning
If it isn't compatible, we could either maintain separate storm-hbase
modules, or start versioning/releasing storm-hbase independently of storm as
we've discussed doing with storm-kafka-client. I'd lean toward the latter.
