I wanted to start a conversation about how we could merge the the cloudera + yahoo distribtutions of hadoop into our codebase, and what would be required.
Cloudera's distribution is based on Y!'s 0.20 distribution, together with patches from the Apache 0.20-append branch, patches cherry-picked from trunk and patches that have been submitted but not yet committed.
Please note that both Cloudera and Y!'s distributions are 0.20-based distributions. Patches may have been committed to trunk, but nearly everyone is using 0.20 in production and will be for some time. There is currently no 0.20 branch at Apache that contains what most folks are using in production. There have been proposals to create such branches, most recently by Arun. Do you think this is worthwhile?
