Thanks. I'll stick to this thread then. > and Arun has invited Jiras to include. > Open a Jira with your suggested list, and we carry on the discussion from > there. Does that work? But this is exactly my concern -- I don't have the list of JIRAs. In fact, there's work that needs to be done to arrive at the list of JIRAs that would be complete enough to give me confidence that something like MAPREDUCE-5240 (I'll stick to this example simply because I remember it by heart now ;-)). What I'm saying is this -- if nobody is willing to do this work outside of the very few folks who are part of Apache Bigtop then I have very little confidence in this proposal actually delivering on its promise of beta quality in Hadoop 2.0.5. The question I'm asking is actually quite simple: does Hadoop community believe in investing in doing this work to COME UP with such a list? Or to ask it differently -- does the Hadoop community value the feedback that such a work would provide to a degree that it would be made part of the release criteria for Hadoop 2.0.5-beta? This is really a binary question as far as I can tell. Thanks, Roman. P.S. There's a second level of discussion which is -- what exactly does that extra work entail -- but lets deal with the basic question first.
