Hi! We have a lot of issues with keeping hbase-asyncfs working with changes in different Hadoop versions, and have to resort to more and more hacks to keep it working.
AFAIU, hbase-asyncfs itself is mature, and most, if not all recent changes have been keeping up with the Hadoop changes, and fixing issues already fixed in Hadoop. AFAIU Hadoop is open to adding the required functionality. This is quite a bit of work now, but in the long run it would make our lives much easier, and would remove the main source of incompatibilities with Hadoop patch releases. Should we push the relevant code to Hadoop ? Are there any cons that I'm not aware of ? Istvan
