I verified the signatures for both source and the binary tarballs. I started up a pseudo-distributed cluster, and tested simple apps such as sleep and terasort.
I do see one issue with the RM UI where the sorting by id is broken. The table is not rendered in the expected id-descending order, and when I click the sort control, nothing happens. Sorting by other columns works fine. Is anyone else able to reproduce the issue? I checked 2.6.0, and it works fine on 2.6.0.
