The first "smoke test" RC is about to be up for people to play with, we are just testing things here and getting that arm build done.
Can I have some content for the index.html page describing what has changed? hadoop-project/src/site/markdown/index.md.vm I can (and will) speak highly of stuff I've been involved in, but need contributions from others for what is new in this release in HDFS, YARN, and MR (other than the manifest committer). It'd be good to have a list of CVEs fixed by upgrading jars. Maybe we should have a transitive-CVE tag for all JIRAs which update a dependency for this, so that then we could have the release notes explicitly list these in their own section. Please submit changes to branch-3.3.5; use HADOOP-18470. as the jira for all the release notes. thanks.
