Hello Folks Thanks to everyone who chimed in in the discussion thread: https://www.mail-archive.com/yarn-dev@hadoop.apache.org/msg27104.html
We have updated the roadmap wiki based on the feedback: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HADOOP/Roadmap#Roadmap-Version2.9 Given the explosion of YARN features currently in the roadmap and based on offline discussions with Vinod et. al, We have decided to add a production sponsor criteria for the features listed. Essentially, what it means is that we will favor inclusion of a feature in the 2.9.0 release if it is associated with an immediate production deployment requirement, failing which we would recommend moving it to the next major release. For eg., as decided by the community for HDFS Erasure coding. This is also in consideration with advanced stages of 3.0.0 and 3.1.0 planning. In summary. We would like to invite sponsors for each of the features in the roadmap wiki. Kindly do so by filling in the "Production Sponsor" column on the table: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HADOOP/Roadmap#Roadmap-Plannedfeatures:.2 Thanks Arun / Subru
