Hello folks, I created a branch for doing the append/sync support for Hadoop 0.20. You can fetch the branch via
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/branches/branch-0.20-append/ If you feel that there are some JIRAS that need to go into this branch, please update the fix-version of those JIRAS with the tag "0.20-append</jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=priority&resolution=-1&pid=12310942&fixfor=12315103> ". thanks, dhruba On Mon, May 10, 2010 at 11:35 PM, Dhruba Borthakur <dhr...@gmail.com> wrote: > @Allen: we are definitely behind 0.21 release.
