I've updated the version of Hadoop in Fedora 20 to 2.2.0. This means
Hadoop 2.2.0 will be the included in the official release of Fedora 20.
Hadoop on Fedora is running against numerous updated dependencies,
including:
Java 7 (OpenJDK IcedTea)
Jetty 9
Tomcat 7
Jets3t 0.9.0
I've logged/updated jiras for all the changes we've made that could be
useful to the Hadoop project:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9594
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5431
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9611
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9613
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9623
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5411
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10067
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5075
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10068
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10075
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10076
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9849
Most of the changes are minor. There are 2 big updates though: Jetty 9
(which requires java 7) and tomcat 7. These are also the most difficult
patches to rebase when hadoop produces a new release.
It would be great to get some feedback on these proposed changes and
discuss how/when/if these could make it into a Hadoop release.
