Doug Cutting commented on HDFS-892:
-----------------------------------
> If you require it at compile time, why bother with making it optional at run
> time?
What I meant by "optional" and "not at runtime" is that it's switched off by
default. The strategy is, rather than trying to maintain a long-lived branch,
to incrementally develop this in trunk but leave it switched off until it's
been extensively tested, benchmarked, etc.
> optionally use Avro for namenode RPC
