+1 As someone who has been part of this effort from inception, I am glad that we have reached this stable state in the project on both branches of Hadoop. It has been a great collaboration across teams and engineers and opens up Hadoop to a whole new set of deployments and developers!

I am happy to announce that we are ready for the merge. Here is a brief recap on the highlights of the work done: - Command-line scripts for the Hadoop surface area - Mapping the HDFS permissions model to Windows - Abstracted and reconciled mismatches around differences in Path semantics in Java and Windows - Native Task Controller for Windows - Implementation of a Block Placement Policy to support cloud environments, more specifically Azure. - Implementation of Hadoop native libraries for Windows (compression codecs, native I/O) - Several reliability issues, including race-conditions, intermittent test failures, resource leaks. - Several new unit test cases written for the above changes Please find the details of the work in CHANGES.branch-trunk-win.txt - Common changes<http://bit.ly/Xe7Ynv>, HDFS changes<http://bit.ly/13QOSo9>, and YARN and MapReduce changes <http://bit.ly/128zzMt>. This is the work ported from branch-1-win to a branch based on trunk. For details of the testing done, please see the thread - http://bit.ly/WpavJ4. Merge patch for this is available on HADOOP-8562< https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8562>. This was a large undertaking that involved developing code, testing the entire Hadoop stack, including scale tests. This is made possible only with the contribution from many many folks in the community. Following people contributed to this work: Ivan Mitic, Chuan Liu, Ramya Sunil, Bikas Saha, Kanna Karanam, John Gordon, Brandon Li, Chris Nauroth, David Lao, Sumadhur Reddy Bolli, Arpit Agarwal, Ahmed El Baz, Mike Liddell, Jing Zhao, Thejas Nair, Steve Maine, Ganeshan Iyer, Raja Aluri, Giridharan Kesavan, Ramya Bharathi Nimmagadda, Daryn Sharp, Arun Murthy, Tsz-Wo Nicholas Sze, Suresh Srinivas and Sanjay Radia. There are many others who contributed as well providing feedback and comments on numerous jiras. The vote will run for seven days and will end on March 5, 6:00PM PST.
