Unfortunately, we now have to sort out how to contribute several person-years worth of work to Apache to let us unwind the Yahoo! git repositories. We currently run two lines of Hadoop development, our sustaining program (hadoop-0.20-sustaining) and hadoop-future.
As Eric mentioned, we have several person years worth of development to contribute to Apache. Arun has started that process by creating the branch-0.20-security branch. I plan on pushing the individual patches to branch-0.20-security-patches and then when it is identical with Arun's branch, I'll rename mine to branch-0.20-security.
I also plan to start pushing the hadoop-future work into a branch called yahoo-merge(?) as individual commits from our internal git repository. The goal of creating the branch is to enable faster review and discussion. These patches will be individually run through the jira, review, and commit process to be added to trunk.
