Re: [VOTE] KIP-87 - Add Compaction Tombstone Flag

@Jay.

On KIP-82 are you and Jun now on board that Headers are the better of the two options/kips? 

If so could you reply on that thread this is the case.

We really would like to get KIP-82 going/moving on an active discussion around the last few implementation details, rather than where we’re at that seems were held up on getting consensus that the concept of KIP-82 is worth it. 

If we don’t push on this one. 

Either way we really need a solution of 82 or 87 Apr/May time release (or when ever the next one is after the imminent on in Feb)

Cheers
Mike

    i didnt mean to sound as insisting. what i actually mean is it would still
    be a valid issue but of much less concern.

Re: [VOTE] KIP-87 - Add Compaction Tombstone Flag

Posted by Michael Pearce <Mi...@ig.com>.
Hi All,

Based on KIP-82 result.

I am no longer actively going to push further on this.
Based on this, if no one actively wants to take the helm on this, I will move KIP-87 to the Dormant/Inactive KIP section for now, I will do this next week, if no one steps in.

Cheers
Mike

    On KIP-82 are you and Jun now on board that Headers are the better of the two options/kips?

    If so could you reply on that thread this is the case.

    We really would like to get KIP-82 going/moving on an active discussion around the last few implementation details, rather than where we’re at that seems were held up on getting consensus that the concept of KIP-82 is worth it.

    If we don’t push on this one.

    Either way we really need a solution of 82 or 87 Apr/May time release (or when ever the next one is after the imminent on in Feb)

    Cheers

        i didnt mean to sound as insisting. what i actually mean is it would still
        be a valid issue but of much less concern.
