Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-2802:
---------------------------------------
bq. I think this is not right. Because it will destabilize branch 2. Dot
releases are for bug fixes, not new features.
Other dot version did add features. That is how we have significant
functionality such quorum journal manager, Automatic failover and many other
features. I would like to make snapshots feature available as soon as possible
and stabilize a release.
