We have already discussed this.
Here is the recap:
HDFS-347 does not support all the platforms. HDFS-2246 does.
So removing HDFS-2246 does not make sense unless HDFS-347
supports all the platforms.
I am not arguing we should retain HDFS-2246 forever. I do not currently
have bandwidth to add HDFS-347 windows equivalent functionality.
When I or someone else adds support for that we can discuss removing
HDFS-2246. Until then I can support HDFS-2246 mechanism. I have
also proposed how to make the current patch simpler where both the
features can live together.
I will change my vote to +1 in following two cases.
1. HDFS-347 supports all the other platforms HDFS-2246 supported and
hence truly becomes replacement.
2. Do not remove HDFS-2246 support.
BTW I think we should switch to some other thread given this merge vote
is already past 7 days.
