Elliott Clark commented on HBASE-8217: -------------------------------------- I'm -1 on backporting this. Reasons: * In my opinion 0.94 is feature complete at this time. ** I feel very strongly that it's incorrect to add new non bug fix code to 0.94. ** 0.94.x has been our stable release for quite a while. We shouldn't destabilize that. ** Databases should not add features to point releases. * This is experimental in trunk. * This relies on very new code that hasn't been proven yet. * Doesn't have integration tests. * There a lot of edge cases. ** Mixed version clusters ** Rolling upgrades while merging ** Reference files ** Merging daughter regions ** multiple merges with reference files ** merging while disabling ** merging while schema edits * Users have gotten by without this for a long time; for me this really suggests that the need for this in an old version is pretty low. > Port online region merge (HBASE-7403) to 0.94 > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-8217 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-8217 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: master, Region Assignment, regionserver > Reporter: Enis Soztutar > Assignee: Enis Soztutar > Fix For: 0.94.7 > > > HBASE-7403 added online region merge, and there was some discussion about > whether we can port this to 0.94. > In this issue, we can discuss feasibility and decide one what way or the > other.
