Hi all, Let me start, as always, by thanking the many, many contributors who helped with this release! I've prepared an RC0 for 3.0.0-beta1:
http://home.apache.org/~wang/3.0.0-beta1-RC0/ This vote will run five days, ending on Nov 3rd at 5PM Pacific. beta1 contains 576 fixed JIRA issues comprising a number of bug fixes, improvements, and feature enhancements. Notable additions include the addition of YARN Timeline Service v2 alpha2, S3Guard, completion of the shaded client, and HDFS erasure coding pluggable policy support. I've done the traditional testing of running a Pi job on a pseudo cluster. My +1 to start. We're working internally on getting this run through our integration test rig. I'm hoping Vijay or Ray can ring in with a +1 once that's complete. Best, Andrew
