+Introduced an new config key in this issue: hbase.regionserver.inmemory.compaction.pool.size. the default value would be 10.  you can configure this to set the pool size of in-memory compaction pool. Note that all memstores in one region server will share the same pool, so if you have many regions in one region server,  you need to set this larger to compact faster for better read performance.

-HFiles generated by 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.1.0 are not forward compatible to 1.4.6-, 1.3.2.1-, 1.2.6.1-, and other inactive releases. Why HFile lose compatability is hbase in new versions (2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.1.0) use protobuf to serialize/deserialize TimeRangeTracker (TRT) while old versions use DataInput/DataOutput. To solve this, We have to put HBASE-21012 to 2.x and put HBASE-21013 in 1.x. For more information, please check HBASE-21008.

-With this change if a WAL's meta provider (hbase.wal.meta\_provider) is not explicitly set, it now defaults to whatever hbase.wal.provider is set to. Previous, the two settings operated independently, each with its own default.
+This adds two extra features to WALPrettyPrinter tool:
 
-This change is operationally incompatible with previous HBase versions because the default WAL meta provider no longer defaults to AsyncFSWALProvider but to hbase.wal.provider.
+1) Output for each cell combined size of cell descriptors, plus the cell value itself, in a given WAL edit. This is printed on the results as "cell total size sum:" info by default;
 
-The thought is that this is more in line with an operator's expectation, that a change in hbase.wal.provider is sufficient to change how WALs are written, especially given hbase.wal.meta\_provider is an obscure configuration and that the very idea that meta regions would have their own wal provider would likely come as a surprise.

-As we hack into the internal of DFSClient when implementing AsyncFSWAL to get better performance, a patch release of hadoop can make it broken.
 
-So now, if user does not specify a wal provider, then we will first try to use 'asyncfs', i.e, the AsyncFSWALProvider. If we fail due to some compatible issues, we will fallback to 'filesystem', i.e, FSHLog.

+
+Fence out hbase-1.x hbck1 instances. Stop them making state changes on an hbase-2.x cluster; they could do damage. We do this by writing the hbck1 lock file into place on hbase-2.x Master start-up.

+* [HBASE-21012](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21012) | *Critical* | **Revert the change of serializing TimeRangeTracker**
+
+HFiles generated by 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.1.0 are not forward compatible to 1.4.6-, 1.3.2.1-, 1.2.6.1-, and other inactive releases. Why HFile lose compatability is hbase in new versions (2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.1.0) use protobuf to serialize/deserialize TimeRangeTracker (TRT) while old versions use DataInput/DataOutput. To solve this, We have to put HBASE-21012 to 2.x and put HBASE-21013 in 1.x. For more information, please check HBASE-21008.

+
+In previous releases, when a Space Quota was configured on a table or namespace and that table or namespace was deleted, the Space Quota was also deleted. This change improves the implementation so that the same is also done for RPC Quotas.

+
+* [HBASE-20856](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20856) | *Minor* | **PITA having to set WAL provider in two places**
+
+With this change if a WAL's meta provider (hbase.wal.meta\_provider) is not explicitly set, it now defaults to whatever hbase.wal.provider is set to. Previous, the two settings operated independently, each with its own default.
+
+This change is operationally incompatible with previous HBase versions because the default WAL meta provider no longer defaults to AsyncFSWALProvider but to hbase.wal.provider.
+
+The thought is that this is more in line with an operator's expectation, that a change in hbase.wal.provider is sufficient to change how WALs are written, especially given hbase.wal.meta\_provider is an obscure configuration and that the very idea that meta regions would have their own wal provider would likely come as a surprise.

+
+* [HBASE-20884](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20884) | *Major* | **Replace usage of our Base64 implementation with java.util.Base64**
+
+Class org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.Base64 has been removed in it's entirety from HBase 2+. In HBase 1, unused methods have been removed from the class and the audience was changed from  Public to Private. This class was originally intended as an internal utility class that could be used externally but thinking since changed; these classes should not have been advertised as public to end-users.
+
+This represents an incompatible change for users who relied on this implementation. An alternative implementation for affected clients is available at java.util.Base64 when using Java 8 or newer; be aware, it may encode/decode differently. For clients seeking to restore this specific implementation, it is available in the public domain for download at http://iharder.sourceforge.net/current/java/base64/

+* [HBASE-20691](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20691) | *Blocker* | **Storage policy should allow deferring to HDFS**
+
+After HBASE-20691 we have changed the default setting of hbase.wal.storage.policy from "HOT" back to "NONE" which means we defer the policy to HDFS. This fixes the problem of release 2.0.0 that the storage policy of WAL directory will defer to HDFS and may not be "HOT" even if you explicitly set hbase.wal.storage.policy to "HOT"

+
+As we hack into the internal of DFSClient when implementing AsyncFSWAL to get better performance, a patch release of hadoop can make it broken.
+
+So now, if user does not specify a wal provider, then we will first try to use 'asyncfs', i.e, the AsyncFSWALProvider. If we fail due to some compatible issues, we will fallback to 'filesystem', i.e, FSHLog.

+Anoop Sam John suggested that the KeyValueUtil#toNewKeyCell can save some GC before because if we copy key part of cell into a single byte[], then the block the cell refering won't be refered by the filter list any more, the upper layer can GC the data block quickly. while after HBASE-21620, we will update the prevCellList for every encountered cell now, so the lifecycle of cell in prevCellList for FilterList will be quite shorter. so just use the cell ref for saving cpu.

-When attempting to clone a snapshot but using a namespace that does not exist, the HBase shell will now correctly report the exception as caused by the passed namespace. Previously, the shell would report that the problem was an unknown namespace but it would claim the user provided table name was not found as a namespace. Both before and after this change the shell properly used the passed namespace to attempt to handle the request.
 
 
 
+If HBase is run on top of Apache Hadoop libraries that support the needed APIs it will verify that underlying Filesystem implementations provide the needed durability mechanisms to safely operate. The needed APIs *should* be present in Hadoop 3 release and Hadoop 2 releases starting in the Hadoop 2.9 series. If the APIs are not available, HBase behaves as it has in previous releases (that is, it moves forward assuming such a check would pass).
+
+Where this check fails, it is unsafe to rely on HBase in a production setting. In the event of process or node failure, the HBase RegionServer process may fail to have access to all the data it previously wrote to its write ahead log, resulting in data loss. In the event of process or node failure, the HBase master process may lose all or part of the write ahead log that it relies on for cluster management operations, leaving the cluster in an inconsistent state that we aren't sure it co [...]
+
+Notably, the LocalFileSystem implementation provided by Hadoop reports (accurately) via these new APIs that it can not provide the durability HBase needs to operate. As such, the current instructions for single-node HBase operation have been updated both with a) how to bypass this safety check and b) a strong warning about the dire consequences of doing so outside of a dev/test environment.

+# HBASE  2.0.5 Release Notes
 
-If HBase is run on top of Apache Hadoop libraries that support the needed APIs it will verify that underlying Filesystem implementations provide the needed durability mechanisms to safely operate. The needed APIs *should* be present in Hadoop 3 release and Hadoop 2 releases starting in the Hadoop 2.9 series. If the APIs are not available, HBase behaves as it has in previous releases (that is, it moves forward assuming such a check would pass).
-
-Where this check fails, it is unsafe to rely on HBase in a production setting. In the event of process or node failure, the HBase RegionServer process may fail to have access to all the data it previously wrote to its write ahead log, resulting in data loss. In the event of process or node failure, the HBase master process may lose all or part of the write ahead log that it relies on for cluster management operations, leaving the cluster in an inconsistent state that we aren't sure it co [...]
-
-Notably, the LocalFileSystem implementation provided by Hadoop reports (accurately) via these new APIs that it can not provide the durability HBase needs to operate. As such, the current instructions for single-node HBase operation have been updated both with a) how to bypass this safety check and b) a strong warning about the dire consequences of doing so outside of a dev/test environment.
+These release notes cover new developer and user-facing incompatibilities, important issues, features, and major improvements.

-Now if we hit a split parent when locating a region, we will skip to the next row and try again until the region does not contain our row. So there will be no RegionOfflineException for a split parent any more, instead, if the split children have not been onlined yet, i.e, we finally arrive at a region which does not contain our row, an IOException will be thrown.

-We no longer include dev or dev test javadocs in our binary bundle. We still build them; they are just not included because they were half the size of the resultant tarball.
-
-Here is our story on javadoc as of this commit:
+* [HBASE-21764](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21764) | *Major* | **Size of in-memory compaction thread pool should be configurable**
 
- \* apidocs - user facing main api javadocs. currently for a release line, published on website and linked from menu. included in the bin tarball
- \* devapidocs - hbase internal javadocs. currently for a release line, published on the website but not linked from the menu. no longer included in the bin tarball.

- \* testdevapidocs - hbase internal test scope javadocs. currently for a release line, not published. no longer included in the bin tarball
+Introduced an new config key in this issue: hbase.regionserver.inmemory.compaction.pool.size. the default value would be 10.  you can configure this to set the pool size of in-memory compaction pool. Note that all memstores in one region server will share the same pool, so if you have many regions in one region server,  you need to set this larger to compact faster for better read performance.

-* [HBASE-16499](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16499) | *Critical* | **slow replication for small HBase clusters**
+* [HBASE-21734](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21734) | *Major* | **Some optimization in FilterListWithOR**
 
-Changed the default value for replication.source.ratio from 0.1 to 0.5. Which means now by default 50% of the total RegionServers in peer cluster(s) will participate in replication.
+After HBASE-21620, the filterListWithOR has been a bit slow because we need to merge each sub-filter's RC , while before HBASE-21620, we will skip many RC merging, but the logic was wrong. So here we choose another way to optimaze the performance: removing the KeyValueUtil#toNewKeyCell. 
+Anoop Sam John suggested that the KeyValueUtil#toNewKeyCell can save some GC before because if we copy key part of cell into a single byte[], then the block the cell refering won't be refered by the filter list any more, the upper layer can GC the data block quickly. while after HBASE-21620, we will update the prevCellList for every encountered cell now, so the lifecycle of cell in prevCellList for FilterList will be quite shorter. so just use the cell ref for saving cpu.
+BTW, we removed all the arrays streams usage in filter list, because it's also quite time-consuming in our test.

+* [HBASE-21738](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21738) | *Critical* | **Remove all the CSLM#size operation in our memstore because it's an quite time consuming.**
 
-The HBase `shell` command no longer recognizes the option `--format`. Previously this option only recognized the default value of 'console'. The default value is now always used.
+We found the memstore snapshotting would cost much time because of calling the time-consuming ConcurrentSkipListMap#Size, it would make the p999 latency spike happen. So in this issue, we remove all ConcurrentSkipListMap#size in memstore by counting the cellsCount in MemstoreSizeing. As the issue described, the p999 latency spike was mitigated.

 When region servers bind to localhost (mostly in pseudo distributed mode), default ports (16020 & 16030) are used as base ports. This will support up to 9 instances of region servers by default with `local-regionservers.sh` script. If additional instances are needed, see the reference guide on how to deploy with a different range using the environment variables `HBASE_RS_BASE_PORT` and `HBASE_RS_INFO_BASE_PORT`.

+* [HBASE-21734](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21734) | *Major* | **Some optimization in FilterListWithOR**
+
+After HBASE-21620, the filterListWithOR has been a bit slow because we need to merge each sub-filter's RC , while before HBASE-21620, we will skip many RC merging, but the logic was wrong. So here we choose another way to optimaze the performance: removing the KeyValueUtil#toNewKeyCell. 
+Anoop Sam John suggested that the KeyValueUtil#toNewKeyCell can save some GC before because if we copy key part of cell into a single byte[], then the block the cell refering won't be refered by the filter list any more, the upper layer can GC the data block quickly. while after HBASE-21620, we will update the prevCellList for every encountered cell now, so the lifecycle of cell in prevCellList for FilterList will be quite shorter. so just use the cell ref for saving cpu.
+BTW, we removed all the arrays streams usage in filter list, because it's also quite time-consuming in our test.

+We found the memstore snapshotting would cost much time because of calling the time-consuming ConcurrentSkipListMap#Size, it would make the p999 latency spike happen. So in this issue, we remove all ConcurrentSkipListMap#size in memstore by counting the cellsCount in MemstoreSizeing. As the issue described, the p999 latency spike was mitigated.

+* [HBASE-21734](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21734) | *Major* | **Some optimization in FilterListWithOR**
+
+After HBASE-21620, the filterListWithOR has been a bit slow because we need to merge each sub-filter's RC , while before HBASE-21620, we will skip many RC merging, but the logic was wrong. So here we choose another way to optimaze the performance: removing the KeyValueUtil#toNewKeyCell. 
+Anoop Sam John suggested that the KeyValueUtil#toNewKeyCell can save some GC before because if we copy key part of cell into a single byte[], then the block the cell refering won't be refered by the filter list any more, the upper layer can GC the data block quickly. while after HBASE-21620, we will update the prevCellList for every encountered cell now, so the lifecycle of cell in prevCellList for FilterList will be quite shorter. so just use the cell ref for saving cpu.
+BTW, we removed all the arrays streams usage in filter list, because it's also quite time-consuming in our test.

+* [HBASE-21738](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-21738) | *Critical* | **Remove all the CSLM#size operation in our memstore because it's an quite time consuming.**
+
+We found the memstore snapshotting would cost much time because of calling the time-consuming ConcurrentSkipListMap#Size, it would make the p999 latency spike happen. So in this issue, we remove all ConcurrentSkipListMap#size in memstore by counting the cellsCount in MemstoreSizeing. As the issue described, the p999 latency spike was mitigated.
