I had hoped to make a release candidate of 1.4.0 a long time ago when I first made the branch, but work/life intervened. Sorry it has been slow going.
I've been making some test fixes to shore up unit test suite results. As far as big items, at this point a candidate 1.4.0 is only waiting on HBASE-15631 (https://reviews.apache.org/r/60672/). I had to go away for work for a while but am now back pushing that forward. For me as branch-1.4 RM regionserver assignment groups is the must have feature for the 1.4 code line. If anyone has a strong feeling against this, let's discuss it now. I have asked before and I believe there are no objections to doing the backport because the functional changes are entirely contained to the new hbase-rsgroups module. Once HBASE-15631 is resolved I will be able to make a RC. This should be soon. I've addressed all of the review feedback up on RB and anticipate only minor additional changes to fix any issues discovered during unit and cluster testing. -- Best regards, Andrew
