Íñigo Goiri commented on HDFS-12615:
------------------------------------

[~anu], thanks for your thoughts.
I think your concerns were valid from the beginning and I agree that this 
umbrella didn't have a consistent story.
My idea was to have a place to track the RBF related modifications.
In retrospective, if I had just used tags for these features (which is the 
common approach), this wouldn't have been noticed and this would now just be 
hidden under the carpet.

>set a better standard for RBF.
I'm not sure I 100% agree on your statement about that this would require a 
branch long time ago.
I agree that some of the features (~30% of the original JIRAs) should have used 
a branch, but there is a lot of small bugfixes which should go to trunk without 
a branch.

I hope you agree your concerns were heard.
To summarize, the actions were:
* Take the larger components into their own JIRAs which potentially will become 
their own branch:
** Security: Already on that track. As I have 0 confidence in this part, we 
were already making noise trying to get others to review.
** Rebalancer: Already on that track.
** DNs vs Router: Already on that track but still in early discussion.
** Quotas: this grew out of hand and hopefully now is on track in its own 
umbrella.
* Leave this branch as maintenance bug fixes. If I'm not wrong, all the open 
JIRAs now would qualify as "regular maintenance".

The problem is that now we have a few rough edges with some medium features 
that are still left here.
I'd like to trim this umbrella further if so.
Any thoughts here? Should we split things further (multi-destination mount 
points)?

In general, I would like to highlight that all the work here is self-contained 
to RBF and shouldn't have an impact to the rest of HDFS.
(Security is a different beast and we should pay special attention within HDFS 
in general.)
If I'm not wrong the changes to the rest of components has been minimal.
