I am pleased to announce that Hui Fei has accepted the invitation to become a Hadoop committer.
He started contributing to the project in October 2016. Over the past 4 years he has contributed a lot in HDFS, especially in Erasure Coding, Hadoop 3 upgrade, RBF and Standby Serving reads. One of the biggest contributions is Hadoop 2->3 rolling upgrade support. This was a major blocker for any existing Hadoop users to adopt Hadoop 3. The adoption of Hadoop 3 has gone up after this. In the past the community discussed a lot about Hadoop 3 rolling upgrade being a must-have, but no one took the initiative to make it happen. I am personally very grateful for this. The work on EC is impressive as well. He managed to onboard EC in production at scale, fixing tricky problems. Again, I am impressed and grateful for the contribution in EC. In addition to code contributions, he invested a lot in the community: > > - Apache Hadoop Community 2019 Beijing Meetup > https://blogs.apache.org/hadoop/entry/hadoop-community-meetup-beijing-aug > where > he discussed the operational experience of RBF in production > > > - Apache Hadoop Storage Community Sync Online > > https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jXM5Ujvf-zhcyw_5kiQVx6g-HeKe-YGnFS_1-qFXomI/edit#heading=h.irqxw1iy16zo > where > he discussed the Hadoop 3 rolling upgrade support > > Let's congratulate Hui for this new role! Cheers, Wei-Chiu Chuang (on behalf of the Apache Hadoop PMC)
