Dave Latham commented on HBASE-12596:
-------------------------------------
Andrew's note that 0.98 is like major, 0.98.x is like minor, 0.98.x.y is like
patch (not 0.98 minor, 0.98.x patch) is illuminating. It does show a couple
differences in the processes though. By that definition, before 1.0 there were
RMs for major versions (after 1.0 there are RMs for each minor version); before
1.0 patch releases were very rare and only happened for the most recent minor
release (after 1.0 it looks like the intent would be to have patch releases for
multiple minor releases living on). I think it reflects an intent for making
more stable releases available by updating minor releases with patches rather
than just focusing on the latest minor release and leaving other ones behind.

> 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.
