Cos, I have hard time understanding your veto? Here is my rationale for merge: Currently with all the cross platform support, the merge patch has +1 from Jenkins on Linux. So no regression has been introduced in Hadoop on Linux. As regards to Windows support I want to make two points: 1. Until Jenkins is setup and we are passing all the tests, I am okay, as Konstntin proposed, if we do not officially declare Windows as supported. I do not want to tie the patch merge with setting up Windows Jenkins. I have been maintaining this branch for a long time and keeping it in sync with trunk is non-trivial. 2. After Jenkins is setup, there is a concern in the community about -1 from Windows hindering patch commits. As others have already suggested in the thread, I am okay committing new patches even if -1 is posted by Jenkins on Windows. The team that worked on Windows will fix the issues. I do not see many such issues cropping up.
