Hi users, The Region Historian (the page in the web UI that you get when you click on a region name) has been in use since HBase 0.2.0 and it caused more than its share of problems. Furthermore, we had to cripple it in many ways to make some things work, the main issue being that the historian is kept in .META. so operations on that catalog table were sometimes blocked.
We are planning to disable it for 0.20.1 and 0.21.0 until we come up with a better solution. Is anybody using it? If so, would losing the historian be a big deal for you? Your input would be much appreciated. Thx, J-D
