Hi all,

After a nearly month long [1] toil, with loads of help from Sangjin Lee and
Akira Ajisaka, and 153 (RC0)+7(RC1) commits later, I've created a release
candidate RC1 for hadoop-2.6.1.

RC1 is RC0 [0] (for which I opened and closed a vote last week) + UI fixes
for the issue Sangjin raised (YARN-3171 and the dependencies YARN-3779,
YARN-3248), additional fix to avoid incompatibility (YARN-3740), other UI
bugs (YARN-1884, YARN-3544) and the MiniYARNCluster issue (right patch for
YARN-2890) that Jeff Zhang raised.

The RC is available at: http://people.apache.org/~vinodkv/hadoop-2.6.1-RC1/

The RC tag in git is: release-2.6.1-RC1

The maven artifacts are available via repository.apache.org at
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehadoop-1021

Some notes from our release process
  -  - Sangjin and I moved out a bunch of items pending from 2.6.1 [2] -
non-committed but desired patches. 2.6.1 is already big as is and is late
by any standard, we can definitely include them in the next release.
  - The 2.6.1 wiki page [3] captures some (but not all) of the context of
the patches that we pushed in.
  - Given the number of fixes pushed [4] in, we had to make a bunch of
changes to our original plan - we added a few improvements that helped us
backport patches easier (or in many cases made backports possible), and we
dropped a few that didn't make sense (HDFS-7831, HDFS-7926, HDFS-7676,
HDFS-7611, HDFS-7843, HDFS-8850).
  - I ran all the unit tests which (surprisingly?) passed. (Except for one,
which pointed out a missing fix HDFS-7552).

As discussed before [5]
  - This release is the first point release after 2.6.0
  - I’d like to use this as a starting release for 2.6.2 in a few weeks and
then follow up with more of these.

Please try the release and vote; the vote will run for the usual 5 days.

Thanks,
Vinod

PS:
  - Note that branch-2.6 which will be the base for 2.6.2 doesn't have these
fixes yet. Once 2.6.1 goes through, I plan to rebase branch-2.6 based off
2.6.1.
  - The additional patches in RC1 that got into 2.6.1 all the way from 2.8
are NOT in 2.7.2 yet, this will be done as a followup.
