Yay HBase! I am also interested in this.
Now might also be the time to think about breaking from hadoop numbering (I think this idea has been floating around since the first version we synced). We've already agreed to break client compatibility for 0.20.5 and it's more than a minor revision. And I'm sure we'll have another release between 0.20.5 and 0.21. It's also clear that this is going to be by far our most solid release to date and so might be worthy of new shiny versioning/packaging as a TLP. Website/docs/wiki refresher to boot. Changing the package names is way more invasive to client code but I'm always +1 on making stuff shorter. Anyways, I'm not doing much production cluster maintenance these days so these changes would impact me way less than others. Will welcome pushback if you guys don't want to deal with this.
