There were several requests on the user lists [1] for a 2.6.1 release. I got many offline comments too.
Planning to do a 2.6.1 release in a few weeks time. We already have a bunch of tickets committed to 2.7.1. I created a filter [2] to tracking pending tickets. We need to collectively come up with a list of critical issues. We can use the JIRA Target Version field for the same. I see some but not a whole lot of new work for this release, most of it is likely going to be pulling in critical patches from 2.7.1/2.8 etc. Thoughts? Thanks +Vinod [1] Will Hadoop 2.6.1 be released soon? http://markmail.org/thread/zlsr6prejyogdyvh [2] 2.6.1 pending tickets https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12331711
