This is the way Apache projects operate. It requires that folks
listen to criticism and potentially accept compromises if they wish
to make progress. If folks cannot reach consensus in an area then
that area will not make progress.
Generally speaking, vetoing extension interfaces without a compelling
technical reason is not the way Apache operates. We make extensions
modular so that diverse collaborators can specialize according to
their own needs, not just your needs.
Thanks for the clarifications Roy.
Doug, do you wish to retract your veto on extensions to SequenceFile?
We can continue discussions on the rest of the technical merits of the
jira.
thanks,
Arun
