Can you say a bit more about how HBase is happier versus not?
I can speculate on a number of reasons why this may be the case, but in general
we should take the view that if the OS has 1000 days of uptime etc. so should
HBase, and work toward that goal. (Unless the JVM just gets in our way... but
so far we have not clearly identified an intractable case.)
