Hi all, Reviving this thread. I've seen renewed interest in a trunk release since HDFS erasure coding has not yet made it to branch-2. Along with JDK8, the shell script rewrite, and many other improvements, I think it's time to revisit Hadoop 3.0 release plans.
My overall plan is still the same as in my original email: a series of regular alpha releases leading up to beta and GA. Alpha releases make it easier for downstreams to integrate with our code, and making them regular means features can be included when they are ready. I know there are some incompatible changes waiting in the wings (i.e. HDFS-6984 making FileStatus a PB rather than Writable, some of HADOOP-9991 bumping dependency versions) that would be good to get in. If you have changes like this, please set the target version to 3.0.0 and mark them "Incompatible". We can use this JIRA query to track: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20in%20(HADOOP%2C%20HDFS%2C%20YARN%2C%20MAPREDUCE)%20and%20%22Target%20Version%2Fs%22%20%3D%20%223.0.0%22%20and%20resolution%3D%22unresolved%22%20and%20%22Hadoop%20Flags%22%3D%22Incompatible%20change%22%20order%20by%20priority There's some release-related stuff that needs to be sorted out (namely, the new CHANGES.txt and release note generation from Yetus), but I'd tentatively like to roll the first alpha a month out, so third week of March.
