Re: [VOTE] HBase as TLP?

[Joe Stein]

It is a good idea because the segment is already fragmented and  
honestly hbase is often a second thought, and should not be, because  
it is seen as tightly coupled.  I find hbase and Cassandra the leaders  
of the pack and welcome hbase TLP to knock out dumb others and  
hopefully tighten up the options for newbies (how is that for a run on  
sentance).

Just my $.029843366347 cents on it since you asked.

Isn't HBase tightly coupled with Hadoop/HDFS.  Isn't that the  
benefit of it.

Please vote as to whether you think HBase should become a top-level

I've included below a draft board resolution.  It lists all current
active HBase committers as initial members of the project management
committee (PMC) and myself, Michael Stack, as the initial chair.

Do the good people of Hadoop support sending this request on to the  
Hadoop PMC?
