+1 Checksums and signatures were OK.
I also ran an API compatibility check (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7035, https://github.com/tomwhite/hadoop-compatibility-tools) and it passed. There were three errors, all false positives: Class org.apache.hadoop.fs.HarFileSystem "E1.2 - API type removed" : field public final static int org.apache.hadoop.fs.HarFileSystem.VERSION = 1 Class org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient "E1.2 - API type removed" : method public org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient.getQueueAclsForCurrentUser() Class org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker$LocalStorage "E1.2 - API type removed" : CLASS public static org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TaskTracker$LocalStorage In the first, the value changed from 1 to 3, which is a problem for clients that reference these constants. We recommend that users recompile their code, so this is not a problem. Still, we could improve this situation in future (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3524150/is-it-possible-to-disable-javacs-inlining-of-static-final-variables). The second is is because getQueueAclsForCurrentUser returns a QueueAclsInfo (a Writable) which was made public in 205. The third is for a private inner class.
