+CHANGES.md and RELEASENOTES.md were generated using yetus releasedocmaker.
+
+First make sure what is in JIRA agrees with what is in git and vice-versa
+(See HBASE-14025 for original exposition on how to do this followed by
+the travails of various release managers. See also HBASE-18828 for a
+deriviative makes the move to yetus releasedocmaker).
+
+Then make sure that anything in current release as noted in JIRA has
+not made it out in earlier major/minor (see HBASE-14025 for how to
+reconcile which).
+
+Obtain a yetus release (see HBASE-18828 for some help). To run
+releasedocmaker, do as follows (below example is for hbase-2.0.0):
+
+ $ ./release-doc-maker/releasedocmaker.py -p HBASE --fileversions \
+    -v 2.0.0 -l --sortorder=newer --skip-credits
+
+Rename the output as CHANGES.md and RELEASENOTES.md. Edit both to put
+document title above the apache license so markdown readers work. You
+may have to bulk import old-style CHANGES.txt on to the end in a code
+comment to preserve continuity of the CHANGELOG.
+
+-->
+
+These release notes cover new developer and user-facing incompatibilities, 
important issues, features, and major improvements.

+* [HBASE-20590](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20590) | 
*Critical* | **REST Java client is not able to negotiate with the server in the 
secure mode**
+
+Adds a negotiation logic between a secure java REST client and server. After 
this jira the Java REST client will start responding to the Negotiate challenge 
sent by the server. Adds RESTDemoClient which can be used to verify whether the 
secure Java REST client works against secure REST server or not.

+
+* [HBASE-20634](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20634) | 
*Critical* | **Reopen region while server crash can cause the procedure to be 
stuck**
+
+A second attempt at fixing HBASE-20173. Fixes unfinished keeping of server 
state inside AM (ONLINE=\>SPLITTING=\>OFFLINE=\>null). Concurrent unassigns 
look at server state to figure if they should wait on SCP to wake them up or 
not.

+* [HBASE-20592](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20592) | *Minor* | 
**Create a tool to verify tables do not have prefix tree encoding**
+
+PreUpgradeValidator tool with DataBlockEncoding validator was added to verify 
cluster is upgradable to HBase 2.

+
+* [HBASE-20661](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20661) | *Major* | 
**Move version from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1-SNAPSHOT in branch-2.0**
+
+Move version from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1-SNAPSHOT in all poms.

+
+* [HBASE-20544](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20544) | *Blocker* 
| **downstream HBaseTestingUtility fails with invalid port**
+
+<!-- markdown -->
+
+HBase now relies on an internal mechanism to determine when it is running a 
local hbase cluster meant for external interaction vs an encapsulated test. 
When created via the `HBaseTestingUtility`, ports for Master and RegionServer 
services and UIs will be set to random ports to allow for multiple parallel 
uses on a single machine. Normally when running a Standalone HBase Deployment 
(as described in the HBase Reference Guide) the ports will be picked according 
to the same defaults used in a full cluster set up. If you wish to instead use 
the random port assignment set `hbase.localcluster.assign.random.ports` to true.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20004](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20004) | *Minor* | 
**Client is not able to execute REST queries in a secure cluster**
+
+Added 'hbase.rest.http.allow.options.method' configuration property to allow 
user to decide whether Rest Server HTTP should allow OPTIONS method or not. By 
default it is enabled in HBase 2.1.0+ versions and in other versions it is 
disabled.
+Similarly 'hbase.thrift.http.allow.options.method' is added HBase 1.5, 2.1.0 
and 3.0.0 versions. It is disabled by default.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20327](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20327) | *Minor* | 
**When qualifier is not specified, append and incr operation do not work 
(shell)**
+
+This change will enable users to perform append and increment operation with 
null qualifier via hbase-shell.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-18842](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18842) | *Minor* | 
**The hbase shell clone\_snaphost command returns bad error message**
+
+<!-- markdown -->
+
+When attempting to clone a snapshot but using a namespace that does not exist, 
the HBase shell will now correctly report the exception as caused by the passed 
namespace. Previously, the shell would report that the problem was an unknown 
namespace but it would claim the user provided table name was not found as a 
namespace. Both before and after this change the shell properly used the passed 
namespace to attempt to handle the request.

+
+* [HBASE-20464](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20464) | *Major* | 
**Disable IMC**
+
+Change the default so that on creation of new tables, In-Memory Compaction 
BASIC is NOT enabled.
+
+This change is in branch-2.0 only, not in branch-2.

+
+* [HBASE-20276](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20276) | *Blocker* 
| **[shell] Revert shell REPL change and document**
+
+<!-- markdown -->
+The HBase shell now behaves as it did prior to the changes that started in 
HBASE-15965. Namely, some shell commands return values that may be further 
manipulated within the shell's IRB session.
+
+The command line option `--return-values` is no longer acted on by the shell 
since it now always behaves as it did when passed this parameter. Passing the 
option results in a harmless warning about this change.
+
+Users who wish to maintain the behavior seen in the 1.4.0-1.4.2 releases of 
the HBase shell should refer to the section _irbrc_ in the reference guide for 
how to configure their IRB session to avoid echoing expression results to the 
console.

+
+* [HBASE-18792](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18792) | *Blocker* 
| **hbase-2 needs to defend against hbck operations**
+
+As of HBase version 2.0, the hbck tool is significantly changed. In general, 
all Read-Only options are supported and can be be used safely. Most -fix/

+
+* [HBASE-19994](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19994) | *Major* | 
**Create a new class for RPC throttling exception, make it retryable.**
+
+A new RpcThrottlingException deprecates ThrottlingException. The new 
RpcThrottlingException is a retryable Exception that clients will retry when 
Rpc throttling quota is exceeded. The deprecated ThrottlingException is a 
nonretryable Exception.

+
+* [HBASE-20224](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20224) | *Blocker* 
| **Web UI is broken in standalone mode**
+
+Standalone webui was broken inadvertently by HBASE-20027.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-18784](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18784) | *Major* | 
**Use of filesystem that requires hflush / hsync / append / etc should query 
outputstream capabilities**
+
+<!-- markdown -->
+
+If HBase is run on top of Apache Hadoop libraries that support the needed APIs 
it will verify that underlying Filesystem implementations provide the needed 
durability mechanisms to safely operate. The needed APIs *should* be present in 
Hadoop 3 release and Hadoop 2 releases starting in the Hadoop 2.9 series. If 
the APIs are not available, HBase behaves as it has in previous releases (that 
is, it moves forward assuming such a check would pass).
+
+Where this check fails, it is unsafe to rely on HBase in a production setting. 
In the event of process or node failure, the HBase RegionServer process may 
fail to have access to all the data it previously wrote to its write ahead log, 
resulting in data loss. In the event of process or node failure, the HBase 
master process may lose all or part of the write ahead log that it relies on 
for cluster management operations, leaving the cluster in an inconsistent state 
that we aren't sure it could recover from.
+
+Notably, the LocalFileSystem implementation provided by Hadoop reports 
(accurately) via these new APIs that it can not provide the durability HBase 
needs to operate. As such, the current instructions for single-node HBase 
operation have been updated both with a) how to bypass this safety check and b) 
a strong warning about the dire consequences of doing so outside of a dev/test 
environment.

+
+* [HBASE-20219](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20219) | 
*Critical* | **An error occurs when scanning with reversed=true and 
loadColumnFamiliesOnDemand=true**
+
+Throws DoNotRetryIOException when you ask for a reverse scan loading adjacent 
column families on demand. Previous it threw IllegalStateException
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20358](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20358) | *Minor* | 
**Fix bin/hbase thrift usage text**
+
+Cleanup usage message and command-line processing (no functional change).
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20182](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20182) | *Blocker* 
| **Can not locate region after split and merge**
+
+Now if we hit a split parent when locating a region, we will skip to the next 
row and try again until the region does not contain our row. So there will be 
no RegionOfflineException for a split parent any more, instead, if the split 
children have not been onlined yet, i.e, we finally arrive at a region which 
does not contain our row, an IOException will be thrown.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20149](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20149) | 
*Critical* | **Purge dev javadoc from bin tarball (or make a separate tarball 
of javadoc)**
+
+We no longer include dev or dev test javadocs in our binary bundle. We still 
build them; they are just not included because they were half the size of the 
resultant tarball.
+
+Here is our story on javadoc as of this commit:
+
+ \* apidocs - user facing main api javadocs. currently for a release line, 
published on website and linked from menu. included in the bin tarball
+ \* devapidocs - hbase internal javadocs. currently for a release line, 
published on the website but not linked from the menu. no longer included in 
the bin tarball.
+ \* testapidocs - user facing test scope api javadocs. currently for a release 
line, not published. included in the bin tarball.
+ \* testdevapidocs - hbase internal test scope javadocs. currently for a 
release line, not published. no longer included in the bin tarball

+
+* [HBASE-18828](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18828) | *Blocker* 
| **[2.0] Generate CHANGES.txt**
+
+Moves us over to yetus releasedocmaker tooling generating CHANGES. CHANGES is 
not markdown (CHANGES.md) as opposed to CHANGES.txt. We've also added a new 
RELEASENOTES.md that lists JIRA release notes (courtesy of releasedocmaker).
+
+CHANGES/RELEASENOTES are current as of now. Will need a 'freshening' when we 
cut the RC.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-14175](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14175) | 
*Critical* | **Adopt releasedocmaker for better generated release notes**
+
+We will use yetus releasedocmaker to make our changes doc from here on out. A 
CHANGELOG.md will replace our current CHANGES.txt. Adjacent, we'll keep up a 
RELEASENOTES.md doc courtesy of releasedocmaker.
+
+Over in HBASE-18828 is where we are working through steps for the RM 
integrating this new tooling.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-16499](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16499) | 
*Critical* | **slow replication for small HBase clusters**
+
+Changed the default value for replication.source.ratio from 0.1 to 0.5. Which 
means now by default 50% of the total RegionServers in peer cluster(s) will 
participate in replication.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-16459](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16459) | *Trivial* 
| **Remove unused hbase shell --format option**
+
+<!-- markdown -->
+
+The HBase `shell` command no longer recognizes the option `--format`. 
Previously this option only recognized the default value of 'console'. The 
default value is now always used.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20259](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20259) | 
*Critical* | **Doc configs for in-memory-compaction and add detail to 
in-memory-compaction logging**
+
+Disables in-memory compaction as default.
+
+Adds logging of in-memory compaction configuration on creation.
+
+Adds a chapter to the refguide on this new feature.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20282](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20282) | *Major* | 
**Provide short name invocations for useful tools**
+
+\`hbase regionsplitter\` is a new short invocation for \`hbase 
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.RegionSplitter\`

+
+* [HBASE-20314](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20314) | *Major* | 
**Precommit build for master branch fails because of surefire fork fails**
+
+Upgrade surefire plugin to 2.21.0.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20130](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20130) | 
*Critical* | **Use defaults (16020 & 16030) as base ports when the RS is bound 
to localhost**
+
+<!-- markdown -->
+When region servers bind to localhost (mostly in pseudo distributed mode), 
default ports (16020 & 16030) are used as base ports. This will support up to 9 
instances of region servers by default with `local-regionservers.sh` script. If 
additional instances are needed, see the reference guide on how to deploy with 
a different range using the environment variables `HBASE_RS_BASE_PORT` and 
`HBASE_RS_INFO_BASE_PORT`.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20111](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20111) | 
*Critical* | **Able to split region explicitly even on shouldSplit return false 
from split policy**
+
+When a split is requested on a Region, the RegionServer hosting that Region 
will now consult the configured SplitPolicy for that table when determining if 
a split of that Region is allowed. When a split is disallowed (due to the 
Region not being OPEN or the SplitPolicy denying the request), the operation 
will \*not\* be implicitly retried as it has previously done. Users will need 
to guard against and explicitly retry region split requests which are denied by 
the system.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20223](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20223) | *Blocker* 
| **Use hbase-thirdparty 2.1.0**
+
+Moves commons-cli and commons-collections4 into the HBase thirdparty shaded 
jar which means that these are no longer generally available for users on the 
classpath.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-19128](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19128) | *Major* | 
**Purge Distributed Log Replay from codebase, configurations, text; mark the 
feature as unsupported, broken.**
+
+Removes Distributed Log Replay feature. Disable the feature before upgrading.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-19504](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19504) | *Major* | 
**Add TimeRange support into checkAndMutate**
+
+1) checkAndMutate accept a TimeRange to query the specified cell
+2) remove writeToWAL flag from Region#checkAndMutate since it is useless (this 
is a incompatible change)
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20237](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20237) | 
*Critical* | **Put back getClosestRowBefore and throw UnknownProtocolException 
instead... for asynchbase client**
+
+Throw UnknownProtocolException if a client connects and tries to invoke the 
old getClosestRowOrBefore method. Pre-hbase-1.0.0 or asynchbase do this instead 
of using its replacement, the reverse Scan.
+
+getClosestRowOrBefore was implemented as a flag on Get. Before this patch 
though the flag was set, hbase2 were ignoring it. This made it look like a 
pre-1.0.0 client was 'working' but then it'd fail finding the appropriate 
Region for a client-specified row doing lookups into hbase:meta.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20247](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20247) | *Major* | 
**Set version as 2.0.0 in branch-2.0 in prep for first RC**
+
+Set version as 2.0.0 on branch-2.0.

+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-20090](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20090) | *Major* | 
**Properly handle Preconditions check failure in 
MemStoreFlusher$FlushHandler.run**
+
+When there is concurrent region split, MemStoreFlusher may not find flushable 
region if the only candidate region left hasn't received writes (resulting in 0 
data size).
+After this JIRA, such scenario wouldn't trigger Precondition assertion 
(replaced by an if statement to see whether there is any flushable region).
+If there is no flushable region, a DEBUG log would appear in region server 
log, saying "Above memory mark but there is no flushable region".
+
+

+
+* [HBASE-19552](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-19552) | *Major* | 
**update hbase to use new thirdparty libs**
+
+hbase-thirdparty libs have moved to o.a.h.thirdparty offset. Netty shading 
system property is no longer necessary.

+
+* [HBASE-20119](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20119) | *Minor* | 
**Introduce a pojo class to carry coprocessor information in order to make 
TableDescriptorBuilder accept multiple cp at once**
+
+1) Make all methods in TableDescriptorBuilder be setter pattern.
+addCoprocessor -\> setCoprocessor
+addColumnFamily -\> setColumnFamily
+(addCoprocessor and addColumnFamily are still in branch-2 but they are marked 
as deprecated)
+2) add CoprocessorDescriptor to carry cp information
+3) add CoprocessorDescriptorBuilder to build CoprocessorDescriptor
+4) TD disallow user to set negative priority to coprocessor since parsing the 
negative value will cause a exception

+
+* [HBASE-17165](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17165) | 
*Critical* | **Add retry to LoadIncrementalHFiles tool**
+
+Adds retry to load of incremental hfiles. Pertinent key is 
HConstants.HBASE\_CLIENT\_RETRIES\_NUMBER. Default is 
HConstants.DEFAULT\_HBASE\_CLIENT\_RETRIES\_NUMBER.

+
+* [HBASE-20108](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20108) | 
*Critical* | **\`hbase zkcli\` falls into a non-interactive prompt after 
HBASE-15199**
+
+This issue fixes a runtime dependency issues where JLine is not made available 
on the classpath which causes the ZooKeeper CLI to appear non-interactive. 
JLine was being made available unintentionally via the JRuby jar file on the 
classpath for the HBase shell. While the JRuby jar is not always present, the 
fix made here was to selectively include the JLine dependency on the zkcli 
command's classpath.

**Split out o.a.h.h.zookeeper from hbase-server and hbase-client**
+
+Splits out most of ZooKeeper related code into a separate new module: 
hbase-zookeeper.
+Also, renames some ZooKeeper related classes to follow a common naming pattern

+* [HBASE-18294](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18294) | *Major* | 
**Reduce global heap pressure: flush based on heap occupancy**
+
+A region is flushed if its memory component exceeds the region flush threshold.
+A flush policy decides which stores to flush by comparing the size of the 
store to a column-family-flush threshold.
+If the overall size of all memstores in the machine exceeds the bounds defined 
by the administrator (denoted global pressure) a region is selected and 
flushed. 
+HBASE-18294 changes flush decisions to be based on heap-occupancy and not data 
(key-value) size, consistently across levels. This rolls back some of the 
changes by HBASE-16747. Specifically,
+(1) RSs, Regions and stores track their overall on-heap and off-heap occupancy,
+(2) A region is flushed when its on-heap+off-heap size exceeds the region 
flush threshold specified in hbase.hregion.memstore.flush.size,
+(3) The store to be flushed is chosen based on its on-heap+off-heap size 
+(4) At the RS level, a flush is triggered when the overall on-heap exceeds the 
on-heap limit, or when the overall off-heap size exceeds the off-heap limit 
(low/high water marks).
+
+Note that when the region flush size is set to XXmb a region flush may be 
triggered even before writing keys and values of size XX because the total heap 
occupancy of the region which includes additional metadata exceeded the 
threshold.

| **1.x clients cannot access table state talking to 2.0 cluster**
+
+By default, we mirror table state to zookeeper so hbase-1.x clients will work 
against an hbase-2 cluster (With this patch, hbase-1.x clients can do most 
Admin functions including table create; hbase-1.x clients can do all Table/DML 
against hbase-2 cluster).
+
+Flag to disable mirroring is hbase.mirror.table.state.to.zookeeper; set it to 
false in Configuration.
+
+Related, Master on startup will look to see if there are table state znodes 
left over by an hbase-1 instance. If any found, it will migrate the table state 
to hbase-2 setting the state into the hbase:meta table where table state is now 
kept. We will do this check on every Master start. Notion is that this will be 
overall beneficial with low impediment. To disable the migration check, set 
hbase.migrate.table.state.from.zookeeper to false.

+
+This fix makes the following changes to how client handle the both of action 
result and region exception.
+1) honor the action result rather than region exception. If the action have 
both of true result and region exception, the action is fine as the exception 
is caused by other actions which are in the same region.
+2) honor the action exception rather than region exception. If the action have 
both of action exception and region exception, we deal with the action 
exception only. If we also handle the region exception for the same action, it 
will introduce the negative count of actions in progress. The 
AsyncRequestFuture#waitUntilDone will block forever.

**Improve the stability of splitting log when do fail over**
+
+After HBASE-19358 we introduced a new property 
hbase.split.writer.creation.bounded to limit the opening writers for each 
WALSplitter. If set to true, we won't open any writer for recovered.edits until 
the entries accumulated in memory reaching 
hbase.regionserver.hlog.splitlog.buffersize (which defaults at 128M) and will 
write and close the file in one go instead of keeping the writer open. It's 
false by default and we recommend to set it to true if your cluster has a high 
region load (like more than 300 regions per RS), especially when you observed 
obvious NN/HDFS slow down during hbase (single RS or cluster) failover.

** Periodically ensure records are not buffered too long by BufferedMutator**
+
+The BufferedMutator now supports two settings that are used to ensure records 
do not stay too long in the buffer of a BufferedMutator. For periodically 
flushing the BufferedMutator there is now a "Timeout": "How old may the oldest 
record in the buffer be before we force a flush" and a "TimerTick": How often 
do we check if the timeout has been exceeded. Using these settings you can make 
the BufferedMutator automatically flush the write buffer if after the specified 
number of milliseconds no flush has occurred.
+
+This is mainly useful in streaming scenarios (i.e. writing data into HBase 
using Apache Flink/Beam/Storm) where it is common (especially in a 
test/development situation) to see small unpredictable bursts of data that need 
to be written into HBase. When using the BufferedMutator till now the effect 
was that records would remain in the write buffer until the buffer was full or 
an explicit flush was triggered. In practice this would mean that the 'last few 
records' of a burst would remain in the write buffer until the next burst 
arrives filling the buffer to capacity and thus triggering a flush.

**Implement a new DFSOutputStream for logging WAL only**
+
+Implement a FanOutOneBlockAsyncDFSOutput for writing WAL only, the WAL 
provider which uses this class is AsyncFSWALProvider.
+
+It is based on netty, and will write to 3 DNs at the same time 
concurrently(fan-out) so generally it will lead to a lower latency. And it is 
also fail-fast, the stream will become unwritable immediately after there are 
any read/write errors, no pipeline recovery. You need to call recoverLease to 
force close the output for this case. And it only supports to write a file with 
a single block. For WAL this is a good behavior as we can always open a new 
file when the old one is broken. The performance analysis in HBASE-16890 shows 
that it has a better performance.
+
+Behavior changes:
+1. As now we write to 3 DNs concurrently, according to the visibility 
guarantee of HDFS, the data will be available immediately when arriving at DN 
since all the DNs will be considered as the last one in pipeline. This means 
replication may read uncommitted data and replicate it to the remote cluster 
and cause data inconsistency. HBASE-14004 is used to solve the problem.
+2. There will be no sync failure. When the output is broken, we will open a 
new file and write all the unacked wal entries to the new file. This means that 
we may have duplicated entries in wal files. HBASE-14949 is used to solve this 
problem.

**Provide way for CPs to create short circuited connection with custom

+
+Provided a way for the CP users to create a short circuitable connection with 
custom configs.
+
+createConnection(Configuration) is added to MasterCoprocessorEnvironment, 
RegionServerCoprocessorEnvironment and RegionCoprocessorEnvironment.
+
+The getConnection() method already available in these Env interfaces returns 
the cluster connection used by the server (which the server also uses) where as 
this new method will create a new connection on request. The difference from 
connection created using ConnectionFactory APIs is that this connection can 
short circuit the calls to same server avoiding the RPC paths. The connection 
will NOT be cached/maintained by server. That should be done the CPs.
+
+Be careful creating Connections out of a Coprocessor. See the javadoc on these 
createConnection and getConnection.

**Bucket cache no longer L2 for LRU cache**
+
+Removed cacheDataInL1 option for HCD
+BucketCache is no longer the L2 for LRU on heap cache. When BC is used, data 
blocks will be strictly on BC only where as index/bloom blocks are on LRU L1 
cache.
+Config 'hbase.bucketcache.combinedcache.enabled' is removed. There is no way 
set combined mode = false. Means make BC as victim handler for LRU cache.
+This will be one more noticeable change when one uses BucketCache in File 
mode.  Then the system table's data block(Including the META table)  will be 
cached in Bucket Cache files only. Plain scan from META files alone test reveal 
that the throughput of file mode BC is almost half only.  But for META entries 
we have RegionLocation cache at client side connections. So this would not be a 
big concern in a real cluster usage. Will check more on this and probably fix 
even when we do tiered BucketCache.

*Critical* | **Remove bypass method in ObserverContext and implement the 
'bypass' logic case by case**
+
+Removes blanket bypass mechanism (Observer#bypass). Instead, a curated subset 
of methods are bypassable.
+
+    Changes Coprocessor ObserverContext 'bypass' semantic. We flip the
+    default so bypass is NOT supported on Observer invocations; only a
+    couple of preXXX methods in RegionObserver allow it: e.g.  preGet
+    and prePut but not preFlush, etc. Everywhere else, we throw
+    a Exception if a Coprocessor Observer tries to invoke bypass. Master
+    Observers can no longer stop or change move, split, assign, create table, 
etc.
+    preBatchMutate can no longer be bypassed (bypass the finer-grained
+    prePut, preDelete, etc. instead)
+
+    Ditto on complete, the mechanism that allowed a Coprocessor
+    rule that all subsequent Coprocessors are skipped in an
+    invocation chain; now, complete is only available to
+    bypassable methods (and Coprocessors will get an exception if
+    they try to 'complete' when it is not allowed).
+
+    See javadoc for whether a Coprocessor Observer method supports
+    'bypass'. If no mention, 'bypass' is NOT supported.
+
+The below methods have been marked deprecated in hbase2. We would have liked 
to have removed them because they use IA.Private parameters but they are in use 
by CoreCoprocessors or are critical to downstreamers and we have no 
alternatives to provide currently.
+
+@Deprecated public boolean prePrepareTimeStampForDeleteVersion(final Mutation 
mutation, final Cell kv, final byte[] byteNow, final Get get) throws 
IOException {
+              
+@Deprecated public boolean preWALRestore(final RegionInfo info, final WALKey 
logKey, final WALEdit logEdit) throws IOException {
+
+@Deprecated public void postWALRestore(final RegionInfo info, final WALKey 
logKey, final WALEdit logEdit) throws IOException {
+       
+@Deprecated public DeleteTracker postInstantiateDeleteTracker(DeleteTracker 
result) throws IOException 
+
+Metrics are updated now even if the Coprocessor does a bypass; e.g. The put 
count is updated even if a Coprocessor bypasses the core put operation (We do 
it this way so no need for Coprocessors to have access to our core metrics 
system).

**Allow CPs to request flush on Region and know the completion of the requested 
flush**
+
+Add a FlushLifeCycleTracker which is similiar to CompactionLifeCycleTracker 
for tracking flush.
+Add a requestFlush method in Region interface to let CP users request flush on 
a region. The operation is asynchronous, you need to use the 
FlushLifeCycleTracker to track the flush.
+The difference with CompactionLifeCycleTracker is that, flush is per region so 
we do not use Store as a parameter of the methods. And also, notExecuted means 
the whole flush has not been executed, and afterExecution means the whole flush 
has been finished, so we do not have a separated completed method. A flush will 
be ended either by notExecuted or afterExecution.

Procedure or Lock but rather, makes a judgement on the general access (You'll 
need to be ADMIN to see list of procedures and locks).

**FilterList  Improvement.**
+
+In this task, we fixed all existing bugs in FilterList, and did the code 
refactor which ensured interface compatibility .  
+
+The primary bug  fixes are : 
+1. For sub-filter in FilterList with MUST\_PASS\_ONE, if previous 
filterKeyValue() of sub-filter returns NEXT\_COL, we cannot make sure that the 
next cell will be the first cell in next column, because FilterList choose the 
minimal forward step among sub-filters, and it may return a SKIP. so here we 
add an extra check to ensure that the next cell will match preivous return code 
for sub-filters. 
+2. Previous logic about transforming cell of FilterList is incorrect, we 
should set the previous transform result (rather than the given cell in 
question) as the initial vaule of transform cell before call filterKeyValue() 
of FilterList.
+3. Handle the ReturnCodes which the previous code did not handle. 
+
+About code refactor, we divided the FilterList into two separated sub-classes: 
FilterListWithOR and FilterListWithAND,  The FilterListWithOR has been 
optimised to choose the next minimal step to seek cell rather than SKIP cell 
one by one, and the FilterListWithAND  has been optimised to choose the next 
maximal key to seek among sub-filters in filter list. All in all, The code in 
FilterList is clean and easier to follow now.
+
+Note that ReturnCode NEXT\_ROW has been redefined as skipping to next row in 
current family,   not to next row in all family. it’s more reasonable, 
because ReturnCode is a concept in store level, not in region level.
+
+Another bug that needs attention is: filterAllRemaining() in FilterList with 
MUST\_PASS\_ONE  will now return false if the filter list is empty whereas 
earlier it used to return true for Operator.MUST\_PASS\_ONE.  it's more 
reasonable now.

**Accommodate the hbase-indexer/lily/SEP consumer deploy-type**
+
+Makes it so hbase-indexer/lily can move off dependence on internal APIs and 
instead move to public APIs.
+
+Adds being able to disable near-all HRegionServer services. This along with an 
existing plugin mechanism which allows configuring the RegionServer to host an 
alternate Connection implementation, makes it so we can put up a cluster of 
hollowed-out HRegionServers purposed to pose as a Replication Sink for a source 
HBase Cluster (Users do not need to figure our RPC, our PB encodings, build a 
distributed service, etc.). In the alternate supplied Connection 
implementation, hbase-indexer would install its own code to catch the 
Replication.
+
+Below and attached are sample hbase-server.xml files and alternate Connection 
implementations. To start up an HRegionServer as a sink, first make sure there 
is a ZooKeeper ensemble we can talk to. If none, just start one:
+{code}
+./bin/hbase-daemon.sh start zookeeper
+{code}
+
+To start up a single RegionServer, put in place the below sample 
hbase-site.xml and a derviative of the below IndexerConnection on the 
CLASSPATH, and then start the RegionServer:
+{code}
+./bin/hbase-daemon.sh  start  
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.regionserver.HRegionServer
+{code}
+Stdout and Stderr will go into files under configured logs directory. Browse 
to localhost:16030 to find webui (unless disabled).
+
+DETAILS
+
+This patch adds configuration to disable RegionServer internal Services, 
Managers, Caches, etc., starting up.
+
+By default a RegionServer starts up an Admin and Client Service. To disable 
either or both, use the below booleans:
+{code}
+hbase.regionserver.admin.service
+hbase.regionserver.client.service
+{code}
+
+Both default true.
+
+To make a HRegionServer startup and stay up without expecting to communicate 
with a master, set the below boolean to false:
+
+{code}
+hbase.masterless
+{code]
+Default is false.
+
+h3. Sample hbase-site.xml that disables internal HRegionServer Services
+Below is an example hbase-site.xml that turns off most Services and that then 
installs an alternate Connection implementation, one that is nulled out in all 
regards except in being able to return a "Table" that can catch a Replication 
Stream in its {code}batch(List\<? extends Row\> actions, Object[] 
results){code} method. i.e. what the hbase-indexer wants. I also add the 
example alternate Connection implementation below (both of these files are also 
attached to this issue). Expects there to be an up and running zookeeper 
ensemble.
