Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-14816:
-------------------------------------------

bq. I'm -1 on dropping support for Trusty at this time, given that Trusty is 
still supported for another 1.5 years. I think we also shouldn't be dropping 
support for OS versions without a broader discussion on the mailing list.

This isn't about dropping "support" (whatever that actually means).  People can 
still build on Trusty just like people build on CentOS despite us not having a 
Dockerfile for it.  It's about us changing what the default build environment 
looks like and what the binaries we ship look like.

bq. So, I don't mind if we end up shipping Xenial binaries instead of Trusty, 
but I don't want to preclude anyone from building their own Trusty binaries 
either.

Exactly. Which is why this should be non-controversial.  I just want to get it 
in before beta-1 because otherwise we're going to shift this in middle of the 
major and that's kind of a terrible thing to do.  (Granted, not as bad as, say, 
changing the JDK, but....)

> It's probably time to update the 3.0 Dockerfile to use Xenial given that 
> Trusty is on life support from Ubuntu.
