Hi all, I'm investigating the use of S3 as a backing store for HBase. Would there be any major issues with modifying HBase in such a way where when an S3 location is set for the rootdir, writes to .tmp are removed and minimized, instead writing directly to the final destination? The reason I'd like to do this is because renames in S3 are expensive and performance for operations such as compactions and snapshot restores that have many renames suffer.
Thanks!
