Todd,
Even though this work was under development over a period of time, during
its development it was not clear when the design was fairly stable to begin a
thorough review. Hence the time of merge is when the real review happens in
such large projects.
I have already indicated on the jira that i do not have any philosophical
objection to this work being in HDFS - hence this should not be a worry on your
part.
The extra week will result in a more through review (hopefully this will have a
side effect of perhaps easing Konstanine's concern about
HDFS adding such complex code).
Lets plan to do the merge next monday.
thanks
sanjay
