I've created a release candidate for hadoop-0.23.1 that I would like to release.
It is available at: http://people.apache.org/~acmurthy/hadoop-0.23.1-rc0/ Some highlights: # Since hadoop-0.23.0 in November there has been significant progress in branch-0.23 with nearly 400 jiras committed to it (68 in Common, 78 in HDFS and 242 in MapReduce). # An important aspect is that we've done a lot of performance related work and hadoop-0.23.1 matches or exceeds performance of hadoop-1 in pretty much every aspect of HDFS & MapReduce. # Also, several downstream projects (HBase, Pig, Oozie, Hive etc.) seem to be playing nicely with hadoop-0.23.1. Please try the release and vote; the vote will run for the usual 7 days. thanks, Arun -- Arun C. Murthy Hortonworks Inc. http://hortonworks.com/
