Hi Ryan, Eric, Just looked at those two for the first time in awhile. - HDFS-918 (now 1323?) doesn't seem like it's too controversial, but does seem like there's a bit of validation left. - HDFS-347 has a long, contentious history. However, it seems that most of the strong objections have been cleared up. Is there anyone left who objects to it, now that it doesn't appear to bypass security?
Finally, I see Todd has posted HDFS-2080 claiming some sizable performance improvements. Would it be possible that could finish in time for release? As a site which heavily uses random reads and high-throughput reads, I'm very excited for this release!
