> Moving from a single WAL to the possibility of multiple WALs, the method signature in RegionServerServices became:
> {code}
>   /** @return the HLog for a particular region. Pass null for getting the
>    * default (common) WAL */
>   public HLog getWAL(HRegionInfo regionInfo) throws IOException;
> {code}
> However, CPs that previously needed access to the WAL would just call:
> {code}
> RegionServerServices.getWAL();
> {code}
> Which is equivalent to calling:
> {code}
> RegionServerServices.getWAL(null);
> {code}
> but which requires a code change, recompilation, and possibly an additional compatibility layer for _different versions of 0.94_... not a great situation.
