>>>"Why MOB and RegionServer Groups should be in a new major version and stuff like the new RPC queue (HBASE-15136), date based tiered compactions (HBASE-15181), special handling for system tables WALs (HBASE-13557), keep table state in meta (HBASE-13017) or the Region Normalizer (HBASE-13103) are considered for or already in 1.x?"
To me the differentiator would be "how much does it change the codebase around". If all/most of code change is the code which is new/ignored when feature is turned off, and by default it's off until well-tested by various users - then it should be fine to include. In the list above MOBs probably don't satisfy that, Spark and RS Groups probably do. If we make 2.0 release with just Mobs and RS Groups, that would mean new AM would have to be postponed to 3.0? What about procsV2? Although we would want rolling upgrade to 2.0, still it's our chance to release something big, invasive and new (since as was mentioned, the user expectation anyway would be that in new major version some incompatibilities would be present and some migration may be required)? -Mikhail On Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at 7:48 AM, Matteo Bertozzi <[email protected]> wrote: > Why MOB and RegionServer Groups should be in a new major version and stuff > like the new RPC queue (HBASE-15136), date based tiered compactions > (HBASE-15181), special handling for system tables WALs (HBASE-13557), keep > table state in meta (HBASE-13017) or the Region Normalizer (HBASE-13103) > are considered for or already in 1.x? > > to me, and probably most of the users, a new Major version means that APIs > will break, wire may break, there may be an upgrade of some sort and so on. > which is not true for MOB and RS groups. > > In case we do a major for RS groups and Mob will that still based on the > 1.x branch? > > On Wed, Mar 16, 2016 at 11:23 PM, Andrew Purtell <[email protected] > > > wrote: > > > I remember explicitly saying I was not against a backport of the MOB > > feature.
