Gang, With hadoop-2.4 out, it's time to think ahead.
In the short-term hadoop-2.4.1 is in order; particularly with https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5830 (it's a break to @Private API, unfortunately something Hive is using - sigh!). There are some other fixes which testing has uncovered; so it will be nice to pull them them in. I'm thinking of an RC by end of the coming week - committers, please be *very* conservative when getting stuff into 2.4.1 (i.e. merging to branch-2.4). Next up, hadoop-2.5. I've updated https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Roadmap with some candidates for consideration - please chime in and say 'aye'/'nay' or add new content. IAC, I suspect that list is too large. Rather than wait for everything it would be better to plan on releasing it on a time-bound manner; particularly around the Hadoop Summit. If that makes sense; I think we should target branching for 2.5 by mid-May to get it stable and released by early June. Thoughts? thanks, Arun -- Arun C.
