Hi folks, I found there're lots of commits are in branch-2 only. Ran "git log branch-2.8..branch-2".
There're 35 commits for YARN, 41 commits for HDFS and 12 commits for COMMON. Only several of them are placed in 2.9.0 section in CHANGES.txt. I think we can either hard reset branch-2.8 to branch-2 and make necessary changes such as revert 2.9.0-only patches or backport them one by one. Any suggestions? Thanks, Wangda
