Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-7965:
--------------------------------------
Welcome back Jon :)
I do not think it is question about "fair" vs. "unfair".
It is a fact that you cannot safely do online schema changes in 0.94.
When we have an actual patch against 0.94 we can weigh that deficiency against
the risk introduced by the patch.
> Port table locking to 0.94 (HBASE-7305, HBASE-7546, HBASE-7933)

> Port table locking to 0.94 (HBASE-7305, HBASE-7546, HBASE-7933). This is a
> new feature, but there has been some interest, and it is necessary for
> snapshots, and online merge, which are also candidates for backport.
> If we port snapshots, we might need HBASE-7848 as well.
> We can also do disabled by default.
