Rather than making big, omnibus patches every few weeks, you should contribute a more continuous stream of narrowly targeted changes. That would encourage collaboration with others, as their patches could be interspersed with yours and have less chance of conflicts, no?
What you say is true Doug, but the most important thing is that he's updating the public project his local changes on a fairly frequent basis.
Far too many folks simply never get around to pushing their code out at all (typically thinking they'll do it at "1.0" or after "one more thing...").
I'm sure the size and frequency of patches will follow a natural course of change as HBase matures.
Also I notice that Jim K just became a committer, and that will probably smooth out the process too.
And I'm looking forward to giving HBase a whirl myself before too long! Jim W
