Should hbase-0.3.0 just be hbase-0.2.0 compiled against hadoop-0.18 ? Should the functionality targeted for hbase-0.3.0 be deferred until hbase-0.4.0 ?
We need to support hadoop-0.18, however hadoop is making major changes in 0.19 such as requiring Java6. Should we: - not support 0.17 at all and go to 0.18? - build a release (0.3.0) that targets hadoop-0.18 but incorporates no new features or bug fixes? hbase-0.2.0 has had a long development cycle and it needs to be released SOON! We need a release of hbase that supports hadoop-0.18. Should we ditch the features planned for hbase-0.3 and make the only difference from 0.2 that it requires hadoop-0.18, and move new features to hbase-0.4 which will target hadoop-0.19? --- Jim Kellerman, Senior Engineer; Powerset
