Hi all, I have created the release candidate build 1 for Pig 0.18.0 which fixes the issues found in rc0 and also addresses an important data correctness issue. Took longer than expected as it was not easily reproducible and I was also out sick for sometime. The most important changes since 0.17.0 are:
(1) Support for Hadoop 3, Tez 0.10, Spark 3, Hive 3 and HBase 2 and making them the default (2) Support for Python 3 in streaming Keys used to sign the release are available at http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/pig/trunk/KEYS?view=markup . Please download, test, and try it out: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/pig/pig-0.18.0-rc1/ Release audit report is available at the same location. Should we release this? Vote closes on Thursday, Sep 11th. Regards, Rohini
