Hello Everyone We are planning to backport some patches for hive from hive master to branch-1. Hive master is on 0.8.1-alpha and branch-1 is on 0.5.4. The backport patch especially need https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ-1993. We ran precommit test with 0.7.1-SNAPSHOT https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10497 which few test failures. The test failures need https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ-2568. However, TEZ-2568 is only available in 0.8.x. Are there any plans to release 0.7.1? Since we are not running precommit tests on branch-1 we are apprehensive to use 0.8.x version for branch-1.
Thanks Prasanth
