I'm okay with doing it in 1.7, but with some minor reservations. Doing this will mean that the last supported Accumulo line for Hadoop 1 users is 1.6.x. This will mean that if we want to support users on Hadoop 1, we'll have to maintain the 1.6.x branch longer, vs. maintaining support with 1.x (1.7, maybe 1.8, etc.) So, doing this will involve a choice in the future: continue maintaining 1.6 for perhaps longer than we might have otherwise done, or leave those users in the dust (if there are any). -- Christopher L Tubbs II http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii
