Hi,

I prepared the first release candidate of Lucene and Solr 4.8.0. The artifacts 
can be found here:

=> 
http://people.apache.org/~uschindler/staging_area/lucene-solr-4.8.0-RC1-rev1589150/

It took a bit longer, because we had to fix some remaining bugs regarding 
NativeFSLockFactory, which did not work correctly and leaked file handles. I 
also updated the instructions about the preferred Java update versions. See 
also Mike's blog post: 
http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/java-1-7u55-safe-use-elasticsearch-lucene/

Please check the artifacts and give your vote in the next 72 hrs.

My +1 will hopefully come a little bit later because Solr tests are failing 
constantly on my release build and smoke tester machine. The reason: it seems 
to be lack of file handles. A standard Ubuntu configuration has 1024 file 
handles and I want a release to pass with that common "default" configuration. 
Instead, org.apache.solr.cloud.TestMiniSolrCloudCluster.testBasics fails always 
with crazy error messages (not about too less file handles, more that Jetty 
cannot start up or not bind ports or various other stuff). This did not happen 
on smoking 4.7.x releases.

I will run now the smoker again without HDFS (via build.properties) and if that 
also fails then once again with more file handles. But we really have to fix 
our tests that they succeed with the default config of 1024 file handles. We 
can configure that in Jenkins (so the Jenkins job first sets and then runs ANT 
"ulimit -n 1024"). But this should not block the release, I just say: "I gave 
up running those Solr tests, sorry! Anybody else can test that stuff!"

P.S.: Here's my smoker command line:
$  JAVA_HOME=$HOME/jdk1.7.0_55 JAVA7_HOME=$HOME/jdk1.7.0_55 python3.2 -u 
smokeTestRelease.py ' 
http://people.apache.org/~uschindler/staging_area/lucene-solr-4.8.0-RC1-rev1589150/'
 1589150 4.8.0 tmp
