There's another useful analogy with CXF. If a group of people showed up with a proposal to make a brand new fork and launch on it, I for one would politely ask them why they feel the need to diverge, and I might hear something that disturbed me. However, that's not the situation here. A community of developers formed inside of a set of institutions that did not allow them to interact with HBase. Now they exist, and their code exists, and their rules have changed. They propose to join us. My reaction? "Wonderful!" It may be that, over time, this group and the existing HBase group will discover a commonality of interest and goal, and coalesce into one big happy community. It may also be that differing priorities won't lead in that direction. > > thanks, > dims > > On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 4:14 PM, Stack <st...@duboce.net> wrote: >> On Wed, Sep 7, 2011 at 12:47 PM, Billie J Rinaldi >> <billie.j.rina...@ugov.gov> wrote: >>> On Wednesday, September 7, 2011 1:34:20 PM, Stack <st...@duboce.net> wrote: >>> >>>> I agree w/ Doug that 'unlikely to' is not a correct characterization. >>> >>> Would the following alteration be more accurate? >>> "It may be possible to incorporate the desired features of Accumulo into >>> HBase.
