Arun, Could you please define the release plan and put it into vote. In accordance with the ByLaws. After this discussion of course.
http://hadoop.apache.org/bylaws.html Release Plan Defines the timetable and actions for a release. The plan also nominates a Release Manager. Lazy majority of active committers Do I understand correctly you volunteering for RM? Just to clarify. Suresh had already put a list of features for HDFS and common. So you probably need to indicate features for MapReduce and Yarn.
