Alexandre Normand commented on HBASE-9876:
------------------------------------------
HBASE-4285 includes changes to {{IntegrationTestImportTsv}} which doesn't exist
on 0.94. This means, backporting of HBASE-7938 would likely be required if we
also want to bring the test changes on 0.94.
I don't mean to be selfish and lazy but is there strong interest for this patch
on 0.94? Since I started looking into this, we actually found that
[kiji-mapreduce|https://github.com/kijiproject/kiji-mapreduce] needed to have
the same patch applied since it's handling some of that logic internally. Now
that we have the patch in
[kiji-mapreduce|https://github.com/kijiproject/kiji-mapreduce], I don't have a
need for this patch on 0.94 personally.
Two proposals:
1. Backport the changes without the tests. I have this done already here so I
could post my patch and be done with it.
2. If people feel like we should also backport the tests and there's a strong
demand for this patch on 0.94, I could see how much work would be required and
give it a try. No guarantees. In other words, if my mom needs my help to mow
the lawn, I'll likely do that before I get to this work.

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: mapreduce
> Affects Versions: 0.94.12
> Reporter: Nick Dimiduk
> Priority: Minor
>
> The main benefit brought by HBASE-4285 was removing the dependency on a
> symlink. Instead, it sets the partitions file path explicitly. Would be nice
> to have on 0.94.
