Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-12596:
----------------------------------------
That's changed since the new rules went into effect for 1.0 and up. Here and
elsewhere we are able to accept new features in 1.x minor revs (branch-1), 0.98
because of its continuation of old style numbering/policy, and master. There
will be a rolling upgrade capable upgrade path from 0.98 to a branch-1 release
with a contiguous feature set.
This is the consequence of adopting semver for 1.0 and up but not earlier. We
have contributors and users wanting enhancements in 0.98 that are allowed
there. I'm not going to retire 0.98 as RM until we have consensus it should be
EOL.

> Normally, we have 2 steps to perform a bulkload: 1. use a job to write HFiles
> to be loaded; 2. Move these HFiles to the right hdfs directory. However, the
> locality could be loss during the first step. Why not just write the HFiles
> directly into the right place? We can do this easily because
> StoreFile.WriterBuilder has the "withFavoredNodes" method, and we just need
> to call it in HFileOutputFormat's getNewWriter().
> This feature is enabled by default, and we could use
> 'hbase.bulkload.locality.sensitive.enabled=false' to disable it.
