Between this and the other thread, I’m seeing: * companies that were forced to make internal forks because their patches were ignored are now considered the deciders for whether we move forward * 5 years since the last branch off of trunk is considered ‘soon’ * M

I find this proposal very surprising. We've intentionally deferred incompatible changes to trunk, because they are incompatible and do not belong in a minor release. Now we are supposed to blur our eyes and release these changes anyway? I don't see this ending well. One higher-level goal we should

Java 7 will be end-of-lifed in April 2015. I think it would be unwise to plan a new Hadoop release against a version of Java that is almost obsolete and (soon) no longer receiving security updates. I think people will be willing to roll out a new version of Java for Hadoop 3.x. Similarly, the wh

Hadoop 3.x: what about shipping trunk as a 2.x release in 2015?

2015-03-09 Thread Steve Loughran
If 3.x is going to be Java 8 & not backwards compatible, I don't expect anyone wanting to use this in production until some time deep into 2016. Issue: JDK 8 vs 7 It will require Hadoop clusters to move up to Java 8. While there's dev pull for this, there's ops pull against this: people are st
