Folks, With the release for 2.8, we would like to look ahead to 2.9 release as there are many features/improvements in branch-2 (about 1062 commits), that are in need of a release vechile.
Here's our first cut of the proposal from the YARN side: 1. Scheduler improvements (decoupling allocation from node heartbeat, allocation ID, concurrency fixes, LightResource etc). 2. Timeline Service v2 3. Opportunistic containers 4. Federation We would like to hear a formal list from HDFS & Hadoop (& MapReduce if any) and will update the Roadmap wiki accordingly. Considering our familiarity with the above mentioned YARN features, we would like to volunteer as the co-RMs for 2.9.0. We want to keep the timeline at 8-12 weeks to keep the release pragmatic. Feedback? -Subru/Arun
