Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-8217:
--------------------------------------
Folks, we have been through this before. I am getting a bit tired of this.
We have no policy against backporting changes into 0.94.
0.94 is feature complete exactly when nobody wants to add features to it. It
makes no sense to declare it such. (It did happen naturally for 0.92 and 0.90,
and it will happen organically for 0.94)
Further whether backporting detracts from 0.95 or later is an entirely besides
the point (IMHO). This is an open source project, everybody is free to provide
a patch, and we ought to look at any provided patch and decide on its merit on
a case-by-case basis.
Now, with that out of the way... Whether the code is stable or not is separate
discussion.
On the count of the code being new and experimental in trunk I do agree with
Jon and Elliot that we should not backport this at this time (even though I
might have said otherwise before).

> HBASE-7403 added online region merge, and there was some discussion about

> In this issue, we can discuss feasibility and decide one what way or the
