Andrew Kyle Purtell commented on HBASE-23349:
---------------------------------------------
If you can find an acceptable solution short of reintroducing locking it will
go better for everyone because the scope of change will be less and reviews
will be smoother and risk will be lower. So please have at it. That said, if we
have reached the end of the road with the "storefile lock coarsening" then we
need to recognize this and avoid the sunk cost fallacy.
