Ishan Chhabra commented on HBASE-11642:
---------------------------------------
[~lhofhansl], I agree with your reasoning of maintaining 0.94 a little longer
(given the incompatibility and a stop the world upgrade process), but I am
worried we might end up in a Python 2.x 3.x like scenario. Declaring an EOL for
0.94 might be a good way to trigger upgrades for many clients who have not done
it yet and will bring more focus to the community (I see many JIRAs with won't
backport for 0.94, but some patches attached, and people will keep on coming
back to the mailing lists seeking help for these and other issues).
