+1 (non-binding) for 2.4.1 release.

Also, +1 (non-binding) for the 6 weeks (or so) timeline releases.
However, I'm thinking it's more important to remove the critical bugs (e.g. test failures) from rc than to release on time.

Thanks,

half that.

We can debate whether or June is too early for hadoop-2.5 and it's contents, 
but I recollect there was consensus that releases every 6 weeks (or so) makes 
sense. Else, with lesser frequency, we'll see a mad rush for everything to get 
into *the* quarterly release. As an example: hadoop-2.3 helped reduce pressure 
on contents in hadoop-2.4.

In my experience, even if we do target 6 weeks it will be closer to ~8 weeks 
before we can *corral* a release. OTOH, a 12 week cycle would result in a 
release every 4-5 months... this is why the ASF encourages projects/PMCs to 
make frequent releases.

I'm having trouble editing the wiki, but I think Timeline Server stability
(e.g. security and locking down APIs) should go on that list.  I think we
should probably take YARN-1404 off the list - even with 3 months it's
unlikely to be complete.

The proposed content for 2.5 in the roadmap wiki looks good to me.

Gang,

With hadoop-2.4 out, it's time to think ahead.

In the short-term hadoop-2.4.1 is in order; particularly with
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5830 (it's a break to
@Private API, unfortunately something Hive is using - sigh!). There are
some other fixes which testing has uncovered; so it will be nice to pull
them them in. I'm thinking of an RC by end of the coming week -
committers,
please be *very* conservative when getting stuff into 2.4.1 (i.e. merging
to branch-2.4).

Next up, hadoop-2.5.

I've updated https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Roadmap with some
candidates
for consideration - please chime in and say 'aye'/'nay' or add new
content.
IAC, I suspect that list is too large.

Rather than wait for everything it would be better to plan on releasing
it on a time-bound manner; particularly around the Hadoop Summit. If that
makes sense; I think we should target branching for 2.5 by mid-May to get
it stable and released by early June.

Thoughts?

thanks,
Arun
