Re: new data types, allow me to throw my hat into the ring as well. I spoke with Stack this morning about a plan that I hope will allow the new data type API to squeeze in without requiring the order-preserving encoding. I'd like to get this API out with 0.96 so that users interested in adopting this feature can start migrating their applications sooner than later. Jealously, I want to start work on the Hive/HBase plumbing using this API and the Hive guys are only willing to accept code that is built against a labeled HBase release. I'm hoping other projects (*cough* Phoenix, Impala, Kiji *cough*) are keen to follow suit. It also allows for the feature to fan out internally -- Filters, Coprocessors, ImportTsv, &c. Using this approach, DataType and Legacy* friends come in for 0.96.0 and OrderedBytes can join the party in a 0.96.x when it's ready for adoption. Thanks, Nick
