Dear HBase users, Up to this point, the guarantees that HBase has provided haven't been well enumerated. As we add the much-talked-about sync feature to HDFS/HBase, we can now start to define what the semantics of HBase are, and what your applications should be able to expect from it as a data store.
If you're currently building on HBase, the dev team would be glad to hear your feedback on this proposal: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-2294?focusedCommentId=12852183&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12852183 After feedback has been incorporated, this document will serve both as user documentation and as a guide for what we should be building towards and testing. Thanks! -Todd -- Todd Lipcon Software Engineer, Cloudera
