I am worried that the new optimization plan work has not had a chance to settle in, and we are releasing a brand new parser for the language in 0.9. Those are pretty significant changes, if the idea behind calling something a "1.0" is stability, we may want to give them a release to mature a bit. Of course we can just release 0.9x for a while until we feel this stuff has been tested in a wide enough variety of installations / hadoop configurations / use cases.
