Mikhail Antonov commented on HBASE-15881:
-----------------------------------------
I'd look at the balance between giving users a one more (may be small) useful
thing vs. risk of destabilizing release branch. If the patch gives some value
and is very small, self-contained and not risky, I personally would not
hesitate to commit it to release branch even if doesn't formally comply with
the definition of bug fix. Me might have a wording in the guideline saying that
backporting of small backword-compatibly patches is at the discretion of RM?
> Allow BZIP2 compression

> Compression speed is very slow, de-compression is equivalent or faster than
> GZIP.
