Hi, As requested by Sean Busbey, I am starting a new thread w.r.t. backporting MOB feature to branch-1.
This is to solicit discussion on the criteria for including MOB feature backport in branch-1. I can think of the following: 1. whether there is customer interest There is. See Jonathan's response here: http://search-hadoop.com/m/YGbbDSqxD1PYXK62 2. whether unit test stability can be maintained in branch-1 Inclusion of the backport should keep unit tests (both existing and new) in branch-1 green. Preliminary test runs showed that MOB / snapshot related tests consistently pass. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15370?focusedCommentId=15176094&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15176094 Comments are welcome <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-15370#>
