New features in next HBase major release Was: trip report for Hadoop In China

[Ted Yu <yu...@gmail.com>]

Forking off another thread.

At the end of my presentation, one of the audience asked what new features
would be implemented in next HBase major release.
I mentioned two possibilities: secondary index and multi-row transaction.

Request / suggestion for the new features are welcome.

If a certain feature gathers enough attention, JIRAs would be created.

Cheers
