Hi we are working on a feature to improve Erasure Coding, and I would like to seek your opinion on creating a feature branch for it. (HDFS-14978 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-14978>)
Reason for a feature branch (1) it turns out we need to update NameNode layout version (2) It's a medium size project and we want to get this feature merged in its entirety. Aravindan Vijayan and I are planning to work on this feature. Thoughts?
