Just a quick update with where I am with your RC1 feedback. First, let me thank you for all of the feedback - it has been great for Impala, in my opinion.
Here is a list of things that I am still planning to do for RC2: 1. Change the tarball name to remove the '-rc1'; instead, I will put the next tarball, checksums, and signature into an 'rc2' directory. 2. Change the tarball so it unpacks into apache-impala-incubating-2.7.0. 3. Fix some 'Cloudera' licensing: pending at https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/4386/ 4. Make buildall.sh work when not in a git repo: CI verification happening at https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/4336/ 5. Version numbering: Apparently it is a problem for Cloudera downstream if the version doesn't have the string 'cdh5'. If they (with my Apache hat on) / we (with my Cloudera hat on) can't fix this ASAP, I will change the version string in the 2.7.0 branch (though not on master) and let Cloudera deal with whatever Cloudera problems there are. 6. Git tag (and provide a git SHA for) the next RC 7. Get a clean RAT run: in progress at https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/4361/2 . This may take a while as I sort out the testdata/data/mstr and /tests/comparison/leopard directories.
