Hi Folks,

It's past 6pm PDT on May 5th 2014, so I'm beginning the process to
generate the 0.13.1 RC0.

I've received backport patches for 0.13 for some of the jiras that did
not cleanly apply back from 0.14 to 0.13, and I'm thankful for them.
All requested patches are cleanly applying and compiling. Tests are
still running, and I expect them to run for a while more still - I
will make sure to wait for them to complete before actually cutting a
release candidate.

The very first thing I'm supposed to do per the HowtoRelease wiki, is
to unlink any open non-blockers from the release, and then send out a
mail to the dev list confirming that there are no open non-blockers
for this release version. So, this is that mail:


The jira query string I used to verify this is as follows:

project = HIVE AND priority not in (Critical, Major, Minor, Trivial)
AND fixVersion = 0.13.1 AND status = Open

The good news is that the 0.13.1 branch name was only created a couple
of hours back, so no issues have been created on this, so there were
none to unlink. :)
