Calling it something other than Hadoop would avoid confusing users (and HBase could then release bug fixes, etc. on its own schedule), but from how it's been described: this is acknowledging the reality of the situation, not proposing something radical.
HBase can be backed by the HBase FooFS and HDFS. If the former can be retired as a legacy platform that'd be ideal, but Hadoop will have to earn it. -C On Fri, Dec 24, 2010 at 11:06 AM, Stack <st...@duboce.net> wrote: > On Fri, Dec 24, 2010 at 10:57 AM, Chris Douglas <cdoug...@apache.org> wrote: >> Does anything go wrong if HBase were to release the 0.20-append branch >> as its own product? >> > > This is an interesting notion.
