Hi common-dev, We have a first cut of the L&N files on HADOOP-12893. Many thanks to Xiao Chen and Akira Ajisaka for doing the brunt of this work. However, full ASF compliance will require a lot more Maven work. In the meanwhile, our releases are blocked.
We're thinking about a "fix-and-iterate" approach, just to get the currently ongoing releases out the door. The intent is not to keep kicking the can down the road. Since releases require a majority PMC vote, if a PMC member would -1 a release on these grounds, please speak up. Additional review help & particularly Maven wizardry is also always appreciated. Best, Andrew
