I am sorry I forgot to start a VOTE thread. This is the "official" vote thread to mark branch-2.8 End of Life. This is based on the following thread and the tracking jira (HADOOP-16880 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16880>).
This vote will run for 7 days and conclude on March 9th (Mon) 11am PST. Please feel free to share your thoughts.
