[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-4510) HDFS-1620 related changes
downstream (For compiling with HDFS 0.23+)
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4510?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13117013#comment-13117013 ]
Ted Yu commented on HBASE-4510:
-------------------------------
I think option 2 is more viable.
We should keep backward compatibility.

> Key: HBASE-4510
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4510
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 0.94.0
> Reporter: Harsh J
> Assignee: Harsh J
> Priority: Blocker
>
> HBase isn't seemingly compiling anymore on 0.23 after the HDFS-1620 naming refactorings were carried out.
> Two solutions:
> * We use new classnames. This breaks HBase's backward compatibility with older Hadoop releases (is that a concern with future releases?)
> * HBase gets its own sets of constants as the upstream one is not marked for public usage. This needs a little more maintenance on HBases' side.
