Is there any plan to put back v1 of the metrics system? This has been removed
out from branch-0.20-security. Downstream projects are depending on v1 of
metrics system are unable to integrate with Hadoop 0.20-security branch. The
affected projects includes HBase and Chukwa. It would be nice if this api
compatibility can be maintained in 0.20.x series. Thanks
Regards,
Eric

As far as I know, the pushes are done. The branching picture looks

branch-0.20-security-202
The general model is that the 0.20-security branch is the main branch
and the 202, 203, ... are release branches that only get bug fixes on
them. The model would be every couple of months we'll make a new
release branch. So in a couple of months, we'll make a 204 branch from
0.20-security.
The mega-patch that Arun pushed was off of the 0.20-security-202
branch. Note that the branch-0.20-security-patches was a temporary
branch for me to push the individual commits to. It has been renamed
to replace the mega-patch version that Arun pushed. I'll roll a 203
release candidate tomorrow.

As I wrote above, Arun's mega-patch was a release off of the 202
branch. 203 and the main branch would be further along. Arun missed a
few files off of 202, but other than that the source code is the same.
Does that make sense?
