Hey devs, There are a good bunch of fixes in the branch that lots of people could have used recently. It's hard to tell exactly when 0.20.4 will be released but I think we need a bug fix release ASAP.
I propose that we tag rev# 919707 (just before the backport of group commit) and apply a couple of the other biggest fixes that happened after that: HBASE-2174 Stop from resolving HRegionServer addresses to names using DNS on every heartbeat HBASE-2308 Fix the bin/rename_table.rb script, make it work again HBASE-2023 Client sync block can cause 1 thread of a multi-threaded client to block all others HBASE-2305 Client port for ZK has no default HBASE-2323 filter.RegexStringComparator does not work with certain bytes HBASE-2147 run zookeeper in the same jvm as master during non-distributed mode HBASE-2355 Unsynchronized logWriters map is mutated from several threads in HLog splitting HBASE-2358 Store doReconstructionLog will fail if oldlogfile.log is empty and won't load region HBASE-2365 Double-assignment around split HBASE-2087 The wait on compaction because "Too many store files" holds up all flushing HBASE-2252 Mapping a very big table kills region servers We could do without 2308,2305,2147 but the rest is pretty important. The work would be done at StumbleUpon to generate the RC. What do you guys think? J-D
