Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-8217:
--------------------------------------
Hey, on technical grounds I was agreeing. :) And it is fine to -1 a feature or
a patch.
What I am objecting to is preemptively -1'ing without seeing a patch and
without disagreeing with the feature as such.
I was also objecting to declaring 0.94 "feature complete". As long as folks
want patches backported (and provide the patch) it is not. Same thing with
making the argument that porting patches to 0.94 will somehow slow down 0.95.
There are folks with data in 0.92 and 0.94 who can't or won't upgrade to 0.96.
And herein lies the difference, you can go to any point released of 0.94 and
back 0.92 if you so choose, but you cannot do that with 0.96.
I want 0.96 out too, if we (Salesforce) could jump on 0.96 right away, it would
save us a lot of headaches in the future.
Anyway, let's just close this as "won't fix".

> HBASE-7403 added online region merge, and there was some discussion about
> whether we can port this to 0.94.
> In this issue, we can discuss feasibility and decide one what way or the
> other. I actually have a patch on top of backported HBASE-7721.
