-1 for rc1 I downloaded and ran the test target 3 times.
First run failed because my umask is defaulted to 0002, which is a known problem HADOOP-5050 committed to 0.21 but not 0.20. Set umask to 0022 and re-ran test twice. Both resulted in failure. Here is the list of failed tests: [junit] Test org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestJobTrackerRestart FAILED (timeout) [junit] Test org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestJobTrackerRestartWithLostTracker FAILED [junit] Test org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestJobTrackerSafeMode FAILED [junit] Test org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestMiniMRMapRedDebugScript FAILED [junit] Test org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestRecoveryManager FAILED [junit] Test org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestTTMemoryReporting FAILED [junit] Test org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestTaskTrackerLocalization FAILED [junit] Test org.apache.hadoop.hdfsproxy.TestHdfsProxy FAILED I am in favor of releasing hadoop-0.20.203. And we run a version of this release on a large cluster at eBay. I know it works. I understand the controversy behind it. I regret it hasn't been developed in a true community way. I think it nevertheless adds value to Apache Hadoop. Lets just make sure it passes the tests.
