Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-9902:
------------------------------------------

bq.  but I think Allen will admit that he has not been pushing on it hard until 
rather recently. The second rev of the patch was only posted at the beginning 
of last month.

There was certainly a pause between Oct and Jan, but it should be pointed out 
that I deleted previous versions of the patch, in particular the ones not in 
patch format and ones against branch-2. (Sort by date helps here.)  The main 
chunk of the code has been finished since September.  

bq. Many or most of the Hadoop committers are less familiar with shell 
scripting than they are with other types of programming, and so don't feel well 
qualified to do so.

This begs the question: who has been reviewing all the new shell code that is 
going in then? (We've had entire new scripts thrown in from all over, not just 
minor stuff!) From the basis of this thread, it sounds like the only people who 
should be reviewing shell code is Roman and (I guess) myself.  Yet I haven't 
been asked to look at any in years...
