+
+* [HBASE-27055](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27055) | *Minor* | **Add additional comments when using HBASE\_TRACE\_OPTS with standalone mode**
+
+hbase-env.sh has been updated with an optional configuration HBASE\_OPTS for standalone mode
+
+# export HBASE\_OPTS="${HBASE\_OPTS} ${HBASE\_TRACE\_OPTS} -Dotel.resource.attributes=service.name=hbase-standalone"

+
+* [HBASE-26342](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26342) | *Major* | **Support custom paths of independent configuration and pool for hfile cleaner**
+
+Configure the custom hifle paths (under archive directory), e.g. data/default/testTable1,data/default/testTable2 by "hbase.master.hfile.cleaner.custom.paths".
+Configure hfile cleaner classes for the custom paths by "hbase.master.hfilecleaner.custom.paths.plugins".
+Configure the shared pool size of custom hfile cleaner paths by "hbase.cleaner.custom.hfiles.pool.size".

+
+* [HBASE-27047](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27047) | *Minor* | **Fix typo for metric drainingRegionServers**
+
+Fix typo for metric drainingRegionServers. Change metric name from draininigRegionServers to drainingRegionServers.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25465](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25465) | *Minor* | **Use javac --release option for supporting cross version compilation**
+
+When compiling with java 11 and above, we will use --release 8 to maintain java 8 compatibility.
+Also upgrade jackson to 2.13.1 because in hbase-thirdparty 4.1.0 we shade jackson 2.13.1.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-27024](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27024) | *Major* | **The User API and Developer API links are broken on hbase.apache.org**
+
+Upgrade maven-site-plugin to 3.12.0, maven-javadoc-plugin to 3.4.0.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26986](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26986) | *Major* | **Trace a one-shot execution of a Master procedure**
+
+Individual executions of procedures are now wrapped in a tracing span. No effort is made to coordinate multiple executions back to a common PID.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-27013](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27013) | *Major* | **Introduce read all bytes when using pread for prefetch**
+
+Introduce optional flag hfile.pread.all.bytes.enabled for pread that must read full bytes with the next block header. This feature is specially helpful when users are running HBase with Blob storage like S3 and Azure Blob storage. Especially when using HBase with S3A and set fs.s3a.experimental.input.fadvise=sequential, it can save input stream from seeking backward that spent more time on storage connection reset time.
+

+
+* [HBASE-26899](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26899) | *Major* | **Run spotless:apply**
+
+Run spotless:apply to format our code base.
+When viewing 'git blame', you may find a file has a large amount lines are modified by the commit of HBASE-26899, so you need to go back to the commit before this commit, and viewing 'git blame' again.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26617](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26617) | *Major* | **Use spotless to reduce the pain on fixing checkstyle issues**
+
+Use spotless to format our java file and pom file, using the hbase\_eclipse\_formatter.xml and eclipse.importerorder file under our dev-support directory.
+On all branches, the ratchetFrom is set the commit just before the commit which introduces the spotless plugin, so we will only format the files which are touched in later commits.
+From now on, you should type mvn spotless:apply before generating a PR, the spotless plugin will fix most of the format issues for you.

+
+* [HBASE-22349](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-22349) | *Major* | **Stochastic Load Balancer skips balancing when node is replaced in cluster**
+
+StochasticLoadBalancer now respects the hbase.regions.slop configuration value as another factor in determining whether to attempt a balancer run. If any regionserver has a region count outside of the target range, the balancer will attempt to balance. Using the default 0.2 value, the target range is 80%-120% of the average (mean) region count per server. Whether the balancer will ultimately move regions will still depend on the weights of StochasticLoadBalancer's cost functions.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26807](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26807) | *Major* | **Unify CallQueueTooBigException special pause with CallDroppedException**
+
+Introduces a new config "hbase.client.pause.server.overloaded", deprecating old "hbase.client.pause.cqtbe". The new config specifies a special pause time to use when the client receives an exception from the server indicating that it is overloaded. Currently this applies to CallQueueTooBigException and CallDroppedException.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26891](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26891) | *Minor* | **Make MetricsConnection scope configurable**
+
+Adds a new "hbase.client.metrics.scope" config which allows users to define a custom scope for each Connection's metric instance. The default scope has also been changed to include the clusterId of the Connection, which should help differentiate metrics for processes connecting to multiple clusters. The scope is added to the ObjectName for JMX beans, so can be used to query for metrics for a particular connection. Using a custom scope might be useful in cases where you maintain separate  [...]
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26826](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26826) | *Major* | **Backport StoreFileTracker (HBASE-26067, HBASE-26584, and others) to branch-2.5**
+
+Introduces the StoreFileTracker interface to HBase. This is a server-side interface which abstracts how a Store (column family) knows what files should be included in that Store. Previously, HBase relied on a listing the directory a Store used for storage to determine the files which should make up that Store.
+
+After this feature, there are two implementations of StoreFileTrackers. The first (and default) implementation is listing the Store directory. The second is a new implementation which records files which belong to a Store within each Store. Whenever the list of files that make up a Store change, this metadata file will be updated.
+
+This feature is notable in that it better enables HBase to function on storage systems which do not provide the typical posix filesystem semantics, most importantly, those which do not implement a file rename operation which is atomic. Storage systems which do not implement atomic renames often implement a rename as a copy and delete operation which amplifies the I/O costs by 2x.
+
+At scale, this feature should have a 2x reduction in I/O costs when using storage systems that do not provide atomic renames, most importantly in HBase compactions and memstore flushes. See the corresponding section, "Store File Tracking", in the HBase book for more information on how to use this feature. 
+
+The file based StoreFileTracker, FileBasedStoreFileTracker, is currently incompatible with the Medium Objects (MOB) feature. Do not enable them together.

+
+* [HBASE-26618](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26618) | *Minor* | **Involving primary meta region in meta scan with CatalogReplicaLoadBalanceSimpleSelector**
+
+When META replica LoadBalance mode is enabled at client-side, clients will try to read from one META region first. If META location is from any non-primary META regions, in case of errors, it will fall back to the primary META region.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26245](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26245) | *Major* | **Store region server list in master local region**
+
+A typical HBase deployment on cloud is to store the data other than WAL on OSS, and store the WAL data on a special HDFS cluster. A common operation is to rebuild the cluster with fresh new zk cluster and HDFS cluster, with only the old rootdir on OSS. But it requires extra manual steps since we rely on the WAL directory to find out previous live region servers, so we can schedule SCP to bring regions online.
+After this issue, now it is possible to rebuild the cluster without extra manual  steps as we will also store the previous live region servers in master local region.
+But notice that you'd better stop masters first and then region servers when rebuilding, as some tests show that if there are some pending procedures, the new clusters may still hang.
+
+

+
+* [HBASE-21065](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21065) | *Major* | **Try ROW\_INDEX\_V1 encoding on meta table (fix bloomfilters on meta while we are at it)**
+
+Enables ROW\_INDEX\_V1 encoding on hbase:meta by default. Also enables blooms.
+
+Will NOT enable encoding and blooms on upgrade. Operator will need to do this manually by editing hbase:meta schema (Or we provide a migration script to enable these configs -- out-of-scope for this JIRA).
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25895](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25895) | *Major* | **Implement a Cluster Metrics JSON endpoint**
+
+Introduces a REST+JSON endpoint on the master info server port, which is used to render the "Region Visualizer" section of the Master Status page. When enabled, access to this API is gated by authentication only, just like the Master Status page. This API is considered InterfaceAudience.Private, can change or disappear without notice.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26802](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26802) | *Blocker* | **Backport the log4j2 changes to branch-2**
+
+Use log4j2 instead of log4j for logging.
+Exclude log4j dependency from hbase and transitive dependencies, use log4j-1.2-api as test dependency for bridging as hadoop still need log4j for some reasons. Copy FileAppender implementation in hbase-logging as the ContainerLogAppender for YARN NodeManager extends it. All log4j.properties files have been replaced by log4j2.properties.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26552](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26552) | *Major* | **Introduce retry to logroller to avoid abort**
+
+For retrying to roll log, the wait timeout is limited by "hbase.regionserver.logroll.wait.timeout.ms",
+and the max retry time is limited by "hbase.regionserver.logroll.retries".
+Do not retry to roll log is the default behavior.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25709](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25709) | *Major* | **Close region may stuck when region is compacting and skipped most cells read**
+
+Both compacting scanners and user scanners should return promptly, when  there are many skipped cells.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26673](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26673) | *Major* | **Implement a shell command for change SFT implementation**
+
+Introduced two shell commands for change table's or family's sft:
+
+change\_sft: 
+  Change table's or table column family's sft. Examples:
+    hbase\> change\_sft 't1','FILE'
+    hbase\> change\_sft 't2','cf1','FILE'
+
+change\_sft\_all: 
+  Change all of the tables's sft matching the given regex:
+    hbase\> change\_sft\_all 't.\*','FILE'
+    hbase\> change\_sft\_all 'ns:.\*','FILE'
+    hbase\> change\_sft\_all 'ns:t.\*','FILE'
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26742](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26742) | *Major* | **Comparator of NOT\_EQUAL NULL is invalid for checkAndMutate**
+
+The semantics of checkAndPut for null(or empty) value comparator is changed, the old match is always true. 
+But we should consider that  EQUAL or NOT\_EQUAL for null check is a common usage, so the semantics of checkAndPut for matching null is correct now.
+There is rare use of LESS or GREATER null, so keep the semantics for them.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26688](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26688) | *Major* | **Threads shared EMPTY\_RESULT may lead to unexpected client job down.**
+
+Result#advance with empty cell list will always return false but not raise NoSuchElementException when called multiple times.
+This is a behavior change so it is an 'incompatible change', but since it will not introduce any compile error and the old behavior is 'broken', so we also fix it for current release branches.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26473](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26473) | *Major* | **Introduce \`db.hbase.container\_operations\` span attribute**
+
+<!-- markdown --> Introduces an HBase-specific tracing attribute called `db.hbase.container_operations`. This attribute contains a list of table operations contained in the batch/list/envelope operation, allowing an operator to seek, for example, all `PUT` operations, even they occur inside of a `BATCH` or `COMPARE_AND_SET`.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26469](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26469) | *Critical* | **correct HBase shell exit behavior to match code passed to exit**
+
+<!-- markdown -->
+User input handling has been refactored to make use of IRB sessions directly and the HBase shell attempts to ensure user provided calls to exit are able to convey failure and success.
+
+Those scripting use of the HBase shell should be aware that the exit code may have changed:
+    * a 0 code, or no code, passed to a call to exit from stdin in non-interactive mode will now exit cleanly. in prior versions this would have exited with an error and non-zero exit code. (note that in HBase 2.4.x this call will still result in a non-zero exit code)
+    * for other combinations of passing in an initialization script or reading from stdin with using the non-interactive flag, the exit code being 0 or non-0 should now line up with releases prior to 2.4, which is a change in behavior compared to versions 2.4.0 - 2.4.9.
+
+Please see the issue details for a table of expected exit codes.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26631](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26631) | *Major* | **Upgrade junit to 4.13.2**
+
+Upgrade junit to 4.13.2 for addressing CVE-2020-15250.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26347](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26347) | *Major* | **Support detect and exclude slow DNs in fan-out of WAL**
+
+This issue provides the method to detect slow datanodes by checking the packets processing time of each datanode connected by the WAL. When a datanode is considered slow, the datanode will be added to an exclude cache on the regionserver, and every stream created will exclude all the cached slow datanodes in a configured period. The exclude logic cooperate with the log rolling logic, will react more sensitively to the lower slow datanodes, whatever there is hardware failure or hotspots.
+
+hbase.regionserver.async.wal.max.exclude.datanode.count(default 3)and hbase.regionserver.async.wal.exclude.datanode.info.ttl.hour (default 6) means no more than 3 slow datanodes will be excluded on one regionserver, and the exclude cache for the slow datanodes is valid in 6 hours.
+
+There are two conditions used to determine whether a datanode is slow,
+1. For small packet, we just have a simple time limit(configured by hbase.regionserver.async.wal.datanode.slow.packet.process.time.millis, default 6s), without considering the size of the packet.
+
+2. For large packet, we will calculate the speed, and check if the speed (configured by hbase.regionserver.async.wal.datanode.slow.packet.speed.min.kbs, default 20KB/s) is too slow.
+
+The large and small split point is configured by hbase.regionserver.async.wal.datanode.slow.check.speed.packet.data.length.min (default 64KB).

+
+* [HBASE-26537](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26537) | *Major* | **FuzzyRowFilter backwards compatibility**
+
+HBASE-15676 introduced a backwards incompatible change which makes it impossible to upgrade server first, then client, without potentially incorrect scanning results if FuzzyRowFilter is in use. This change corrects that problem by introducing a backwards compatible workaround.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26542](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26542) | *Minor* | **Apply a \`package\` to test protobuf files**
+
+The protobuf structures used in test are all now scoped by the package name \`hbase.test.pb\`.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26512](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26512) | *Major* | **Make timestamp format configurable in HBase shell scan output**
+
+HBASE-23930 changed the formatting of the timestamp attribute on each Cell as displayed by the HBase shell to be formatted as an ISO-8601 string rather that milliseconds since the epoch. Some users may have logic which expects the timestamp to be displayed as milliseconds since the epoch. This change introduces the configuration property hbase.shell.timestamp.format.epoch which controls whether the shell will print an ISO-8601 formatted timestamp (the default "false") or milliseconds sin [...]
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26363](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26363) | *Major* | **OpenTelemetry configuration support for per-process service names**
+
+<!-- markdown -->Each HBase process can have its own `service.name`, a value that can be completely customized by the operator. See the comment and examples in conf/hbase-env.sh.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26362](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26362) | *Major* | **Upload mvn site artifacts for nightly build to nightlies**
+
+Now we will upload the site artifacts to nightlies for nightly build as well as pre commit build.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-26316](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26316) | *Minor* | **Per-table or per-CF compression codec setting overrides**
+
+It is now possible to specify codec configuration options as part of table or column family schema definitions. The configuration options will only apply to the defined scope. For example: 
+
+  hbase\> create 'sometable', \\
+    { NAME =\> 'somefamily', COMPRESSION =\> 'ZSTD' }, \\
+    CONFIGURATION =\> { 'hbase.io.compress.zstd.level' =\> '9' }
+

+* [HBASE-26329](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26329) | *Major* | **Upgrade commons-io to 2.11.0**
+
+Upgraded commons-io to 2.11.0.
+

+
+* [HBASE-26186](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26186) | *Major* | **jenkins script for caching artifacts should verify cached file before relying on it**

+
+Introduced new config: hbase.min.version.move.system.tables
+
+When the operator uses this configuration option, any version between
+the current cluster version and the value of "hbase.min.version.move.system.tables"
+does not trigger any auto-region movement. Auto-region movement here
+refers to auto-migration of system table regions to newer server versions.
+It is assumed that the configured range of versions does not require special
+handling of moving system table regions to higher versioned RegionServer.
+This auto-migration is done by AssignmentManager#checkIfShouldMoveSystemRegionAsync().
+Example: Let's assume the cluster is on version 1.4.0 and we have
+set "hbase.min.version.move.system.tables" as "2.0.0". Now if we upgrade
+one RegionServer on 1.4.0 cluster to 1.6.0 (\< 2.0.0), then AssignmentManager will
+not move hbase:meta, hbase:namespace and other system table regions
+to newly brought up RegionServer 1.6.0 as part of auto-migration.
+However, if we upgrade one RegionServer on 1.4.0 cluster to 2.2.0 (\> 2.0.0),
+then AssignmentManager will move all system table regions to newly brought
+up RegionServer 2.2.0 as part of auto-migration done by
+AssignmentManager#checkIfShouldMoveSystemRegionAsync().
+
+Overall, assuming we have system RSGroup where we keep HBase system tables, if we use
+config "hbase.min.version.move.system.tables" with value x.y.z then while upgrading cluster to
+version greater than or equal to x.y.z, the first RegionServer that we upgrade must
+belong to system RSGroup only.

+
+WAL storage can be expensive, especially if the cell values represented in the edits are large, consisting of blobs or significant lengths of text. Such WALs might need to be kept around for a fairly long time to satisfy replication constraints on a space limited (or space-contended) filesystem.
+
+Enable WAL compression and, with this feature, WAL value compression, to save space in exchange for slightly higher WAL append latencies. The degree of performance impact will depend on the compression algorithm selection.  SNAPPY or ZSTD are recommended algorithms, if native codec support is available. SNAPPY may even provide an overall improvement in WAL commit latency, so is the best choice. GZ can be a reasonable fallback where native codec support is not available.
+
+To enable WAL compression, value compression, and select the desired algorithm, edit your site configuration like so:

+
+After HBASE-25766, we can specify a split restriction, "KeyPrefix" or "DelimitedKeyPrefix", to a table with the "hbase.regionserver.region.split\_restriction.type" property. The "KeyPrefix" split restriction groups rows by a prefix of the row-key. And the "DelimitedKeyPrefix" split restriction groups rows by a prefix of the row-key with a delimiter.
+
+For example:
+\`\`\`
+# Create a table with a "KeyPrefix" split restriction, where the prefix length is 2 bytes
+hbase\> create 'tbl1', 'fam', {CONFIGURATION =\> {'hbase.regionserver.region.split\_restriction.type' =\> 'KeyPrefix', 'hbase.regionserver.region.split\_restriction.prefix\_length' =\> '2'}}
+
+# Create a table with a "DelimitedKeyPrefix" split restriction, where the delimiter is a comma (,)
+hbase\> create 'tbl2', 'fam', {CONFIGURATION =\> {'hbase.regionserver.region.split\_restriction.type' =\> 'DelimitedKeyPrefix', 'hbase.regionserver.region.split\_restriction.delimiter' =\> ','}}
+\`\`\`
+
+Instead of specifying a split restriction to a table directly, we can also set the properties in hbase-site.xml. In this case, the specified split restriction is applied for all the tables.
+
+Note that the split restriction is also applied to a user-specified split point so that we don't allow users to break the restriction, which is different behavior from the existing KeyPrefixRegionSplitPolicy and DelimitedKeyPrefixRegionSplitPolicy.

+Introduced a MaintenanceLoadBalancer to be used only under maintenance mode. Typically you should not use it as your balancer implementation.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25767](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25767) | *Major* | **CandidateGenerator.getRandomIterationOrder is too slow on large cluster**
+
+In the actual implementation classes of CandidateGenerator, now we just random select a start point and then iterate sequentially, instead of using the old way, where we will create a big array to hold all the integers in [0, num\_regions\_in\_cluster), shuffle the array, and then iterate on the array.
+The new implementation is 'random' enough as every time we just select one candidate. The problem for the old implementation is that, it will create an array every time when we want to get a candidate, if we have tens of thousands regions, we will create an array with tens of thousands length everytime, which causes big GC pressure and slow down the balancer execution.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25744](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25744) | *Major* | **Change default of \`hbase.normalizer.merge.min\_region\_size.mb\` to \`0\`**
+
+Before this change, by default, the normalizer would exclude any region with a total \`storefileSizeMB\` \<= 1 from merge consideration. This changes the default so that these small regions will be merged away.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25687](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25687) | *Major* | **Backport "HBASE-25681 Add a switch for server/table queryMeter" to branch-2 and branch-1**
+
+Adds flags to disable server and table metrics. They are default on.
+
+"hbase.regionserver.enable.server.query.meter"
+"hbase.regionserver.enable.table.query.meter";
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25199](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25199) | *Minor* | **Remove HStore#getStoreHomedir**
+
+Moved the following methods from HStore to HRegionFileSystem
+
+- #getStoreHomedir(Path, RegionInfo, byte[])
+- #getStoreHomedir(Path, String, byte[])
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25685](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25685) | *Major* | **asyncprofiler2.0 no longer supports svg; wants html**
+
+If asyncprofiler 1.x, all is good. If asyncprofiler 2.x and it is hbase-2.3.x or hbase-2.4.x, add '?output=html' to get flamegraphs from the profiler.
+
+Otherwise, if hbase-2.5+ and asyncprofiler2, all works. If asyncprofiler1 and hbase-2.5+, you may have to add '?output=svg' to the query.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25518](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25518) | *Major* | **Support separate child regions to different region servers**
+
+Config key for enable/disable automatically separate child regions to different region servers in the procedure of split regions. One child will be kept to the server where parent region is on, and the other child will be assigned to a random server.
+
+hbase.master.auto.separate.child.regions.after.split.enabled
+
+Default setting is false/off.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25665](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25665) | *Major* | **Disable reverse DNS lookup for SASL Kerberos client connection**
+
+New client side configuration \`hbase.unsafe.client.kerberos.hostname.disable.reversedns\` is added.
+
+This configuration is advanced for experts and you shouldn't specify unless you really what is this configuration and doing.
+HBase secure client using SASL Kerberos performs DNS reverse lookup to get hostname for server principal using InetAddress.getCanonicalHostName by default (false for this configuration).
+If you set true for this configuration, HBase client doen't perform DNS reverse lookup for server principal and use InetAddress.getHostName which is sent by HBase cluster instead.
+This helps your client application deploy under unusual network environment which DNS doesn't provide reverse lookup.
+Check the description of the JIRA ticket, HBASE-25665 carefully and check that this configuration fits your environment and deployment actually before enable this configuration.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25374](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25374) | *Minor* | **Make REST Client connection and socket time out configurable**
+
+Configuration parameter to set rest client connection timeout
+
+"hbase.rest.client.conn.timeout" Default is 2 \* 1000
+
+"hbase.rest.client.socket.timeout" Default of 30 \* 1000
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25566](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25566) | *Major* | **RoundRobinTableInputFormat**
+
+Adds RoundRobinTableInputFormat, a subclass of TableInputFormat, that takes the TIF#getSplits list and resorts it so as to spread the InputFormats as broadly about the cluster as possible. RRTIF works to frustrate bunching of InputSplits on RegionServers to avoid the scenario where a few RegionServers are working hard fielding many InputSplits while others idle hosting a few or none.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25587](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25587) | *Major* | **[hbck2] Schedule SCP for all unknown servers**
+
+Adds scheduleSCPsForUnknownServers to Hbck Service.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25636](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25636) | *Minor* | **Expose HBCK report as metrics**
+
+Expose HBCK repost results in metrics, includes: "orphanRegionsOnRS", "orphanRegionsOnFS", "inconsistentRegions", "holes", "overlaps", "unknownServerRegions" and "emptyRegionInfoRegions".
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25582](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25582) | *Major* | **Support setting scan ReadType to be STREAM at cluster level**
+
+Adding a new meaning for the config 'hbase.storescanner.pread.max.bytes' when configured with a value \<0.   
+In HBase 2.x we allow the Scan op to specify a ReadType (PREAD / STREAM/ DEFAULT).  When Scan comes with DEFAULT read type, we will start scan with preads and later switch to stream read once we see we are scanning a total data size \> value of hbase.storescanner.pread.max.bytes.  (This is calculated for data per region:cf).  This config defaults to 4 x of HFile block size = 256 KB by default.
+This jira added a new meaning for this config when configured with a -ve value.  In such case, for all scans with DEFAULT read type, we will start with STREAM read itself. (Switch at begin of the scan itself)
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25492](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25492) | *Major* | **Create table with rsgroup info in branch-2**
+
+HBASE-25492 added a new interface in TableDescriptor which allows user to define RSGroup name while creating or modifying a table.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25460](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25460) | *Major* | **Expose drainingServers as cluster metric**
+
+Exposed new jmx metrics: "draininigRegionServers" and "numDrainingRegionServers" to provide "comma separated names for regionservers that are put in draining mode" and "num of such regionservers" respectively.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25615](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25615) | *Major* | **Upgrade java version in pre commit docker file**
+
+jdk8u232-b09 -\> jdk8u282-b08
+jdk-11.0.6\_10 -\> jdk-11.0.10\_9
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-23887](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23887) | *Major* | **New L1 cache : AdaptiveLRU**
+
+Introduced new L1 cache: AdaptiveLRU. This is supposed to provide better performance than default LRU cache.
+Set config key "hfile.block.cache.policy" to "AdaptiveLRU" in hbase-site in order to start using this new cache.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25449](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25449) | *Major* | **'dfs.client.read.shortcircuit' should not be set in hbase-default.xml**
+
+The presence of HDFS short-circuit read configuration properties in hbase-default.xml inadvertently causes short-circuit reads to not happen inside of RegionServers, despite short-circuit reads being enabled in hdfs-site.xml.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25333](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25333) | *Major* | **Add maven enforcer rule to ban VisibleForTesting imports**
+
+Ban the imports of guava VisiableForTesting, which means you should not use this annotation in HBase any more.
+For IA.Public and IA.LimitedPrivate classes, typically you should not expose any test related fields/methods there, and if you want to hide something, use IA.Private on the specific fields/methods.
+For IA.Private classes, if you want to expose something only for tests, use the RestrictedApi annotation from error prone, where it could cause a compilation error if someone break the rule in the future.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25441](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25441) | *Critical* | **add security check for some APIs in RSRpcServices**
+
+RsRpcServices APIs that can be accessed only through Admin rights:
+- stopServer
+- updateFavoredNodes
+- updateConfiguration
+- clearRegionBlockCache
+- clearSlowLogsResponses
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25432](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25432) | *Blocker* | **we should add security checks for setTableStateInMeta and fixMeta**
+
+setTableStateInMeta and fixMeta can be accessed only through Admin rights
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25318](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25318) | *Minor* | **Configure where IntegrationTestImportTsv generates HFiles**
+
+Added IntegrationTestImportTsv.generatedHFileFolder configuration property to override the default location in IntegrationTestImportTsv. Useful for running the integration test when HDFS Transparent Encryption is enabled.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-24751](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-24751) | *Minor* | **Display Task completion time and/or processing duration on Web UI**
+
+Adds completion time to tasks display.
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25456](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25456) | *Critical* | **setRegionStateInMeta need security check**
+
+setRegionStateInMeta can be accessed only through Admin rights
+
+
+---
+
+* [HBASE-25451](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-25451) | *Major* | **Upgrade commons-io to 2.8.0**
