Perhaps I'm missing something, but I can't possibly imagine how a vote on a common-dev@hadoop.apache.org could possibly affect downstream projects. I honestly don't think we should be in a business of telling Pig, Hive, Oozie, etc. what to use or not to use. With that in mind the following vote applies ONLY to Hadoop project itself: -1, +1, -1 > Personally, my vote is +1, +1, +1. > I think #2 is preferable to #1, but still has many unknowns in it, and > until those are worked out I don't want to delay moving to cross-platform > scripts for build-time tasks. And yet #2 is, in my opinion, a much better investment of our collective time. We already at the mercy of JDK, but at least it is a far superior platform from a support and backward compatibility perspective. Anything that we can offload to it -- is absolutely worth doing. Thanks, Roman.
