Folks, I've created a release candidate (rc0) for hadoop-2.1.0-beta that I would like to get released.
This release represents a *huge* amount of work done by the community (639 fixes) which includes several major advances including: # HDFS Snapshots # Windows support # YARN API stabilization # MapReduce Binary Compatibility with hadoop-1.x # Substantial amount of integration testing with rest of projects in the ecosystem The RC is available at: http://people.apache.org/~acmurthy/hadoop-2.1.0-beta-rc0/ The RC tag in svn is here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/tags/release-2.1.0-beta-rc0 The maven artifacts are available via repository.apache.org. Please try the release and vote; the vote will run for the usual 7 days. thanks, Arun -- Arun C. Murthy Hortonworks Inc. http://hortonworks.com/
