This is why I like the latter idea, but maybe it isn't good enough. I need to check if HBASE-10070 has something on the specific objectives here before I ask.

When I was considering HBASE-2357, I came to the conclusion it was the latter. -- Best regards, - Andy Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by hitting back. - Piet Hein (via Tom White)
