A tag is immutable, but you (or someone else) could remove the tag you pushed and re-push a new one. That's why the commit id is important -- it ensures that everyone else knows the exact commit being voted on.

The latest commit on RC2 is: e51312e8e106efb2ebd4844eecacb51026fac8b7.
btw, I think tags are immutable. Isn't it?

Thanks,

Subject: Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Hadoop 2.8.0 (RC2)

Hi all,
     With several important fixes get merged last week, I've created a new 
release candidate (RC2) for Apache Hadoop 2.8.0.

     This is the next minor release to follow up 2.7.0 which has been released 
for more than 1 year. It comprises 2,919 fixes, improvements, and new features. 
Most of these commits are released for the first time in branch-2.

      More information about the 2.8.0 release plan can be found here: 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HADOOP/Hadoop+2.8+Release

      Please note that RC0 and RC1 are not voted public because significant 
issues are found just after RC tag getting published.

      The RC is available at: 
http://home.apache.org/~junping_du/hadoop-2.8.0-RC2

      The RC tag in git is: release-2.8.0-RC2

given tags are so easy to move, we need to be relying on one or more of:
-the commit ID,
-the tag being signed

Junping: what is the commit Id for the release?

      The maven artifacts are available via repository.apache.org at: 
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehadoop-1056


thanks, I'll play with these downstream, as well as checking out and trying to 
build on windows

      Please try the release and vote; the vote will run for the usual 5 days, 
ending on 03/20/2017 PDT time.

Thanks,

Junping
