Yes, my plan is to create a fork of the main repo, so that we can still
merge new Phoenix code into the CDH-compatible version.
Before that, I do wonder whether it's possible to suggest a few changes
to the main repo that would allow for compiling a CDH-compatible
version, without needing to maintain a separate repo. The bulk of the
changes are to dependencies in the pom, which suggests that it could be
done to accept a switch to mvn build.

The first step I think is a repo with code that compiles. Please
initialize it by forking github.com/apache/phoenix

we have a clear idea (by diff) what is required we can figure out if
we can support compatibility in some way.

I can volunteer to spend some time on this.
CDH artifacts are available in Maven repo but from reading other
threads on CDH-Phoenix compatibilty, it looks like there are some
code changes to be made in Phoenix to successfully compile against CDH.
Here are questions to address:
1) How to maintain CDH compatible Phoenix code base?
2) Is having a CDH compatible branch even an option?

Yes I am interested. Assuming CDH artifacts are publicly
available in a Maven repo somewhere, which I believe is the case,
perhaps we (the Phoenix project/community) could set up a Jenkins
job that builds against them and makes the resulting build
artifacts available. They would never be an official release,
just a best effort convenience. Would that work? I think little
must be done besides compile against the CDH artifacts for binary
compatibility.
