Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-8217:
--------------------------------------
bq. We basically agreed that the decision is done case-by-case. For me the bar
for backporting features to a stable release is much higher than adding a
feature to trunk or early releases (an x.0 or x.1).
Yes, and this issue is for discussing this case.
bq. The hopefully part concerns me. If we have some evidence that it is robust
in the face of these cases (a script or integration test that others can run
for a while to test stability), then I'm a lot easier
Yes, getting merges tested properly is already in my radar we have to do it no
matter the backport.

> 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. I actually have a patch on top of backported HBASE-7721.
