Hey [~bbeaudreault] as I explained this isn't about avoiding fixing a bug. That 
is being handled on the other mentioned issue and the upgrade issue only 
produces warnings. 

In case it wasn't clear, I think warmup is an architectural problem because it 
invalidates the assumption regionservers have that they have exclusive 
ownership of store files. It is technically a double assignment case. This 
can't really be fixed IMHO. So I want to shut it off in my deployments. 

At the same time I recognize that maybe others will have performance concerns, 
so they can leave it on. "I've never had a problem with this" etc. I don't want 
to have those arguments. 

Default remains on for backwards compatibility.

> We have encountered two issues with region warmup before the assignment 
> manager gracefully moves a region from one regionserver to another. 
> The first instance is HBASE-26722. Part of the failure chain is temporary 
> double assignment like conditions where both the source and destination 
> regionservers think they have exclusive rights to storefile management (as 
> they should) but warmup opens a region before it is closed and then both 
> regionservers take compaction related actions. While this can be remediated 
> with more care to this case, it is unclear if warmup affords significant 
> advantage. The motivation of the original commit in 2015 introducing this 
> feature was avoidance of blockcache misses once region ownership transfer was 
> advertised to clients. Depending on use case and additional default-false 
> schema options (like preload) this could be valuable. Or not.
> The second instance is in place upgrade from HBase 1 to HBase 2. In a 
> scenario where regionservers have been replaced by HBase 2 versions, but the 
> master is still HBase 1, the region warmup RPC request fails. This is not 
> particularly harmful but indicates it will not be useful during the 
> transition period. 
> We think it would be good to allow for warmup before move to be optionally 
> disabled by a site configuration setting. In particular there have been many 
> unrelated changes committed since 2015 and expectations of invariants in the 
> contribution of the warmup-on-move feature have been invalidated. HBASE-26722 
> may be the only case, or it might not.  This is a fairly trivial change.
