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... > Shell script rewrite > -------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-9902 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9902 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: scripts > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Allen Wittenauer > Assignee: Allen Wittenauer > Labels: releasenotes > Attachments: HADOOP-9902-10.patch, HADOOP-9902-11.patch, > HADOOP-9902-12.patch, HADOOP-9902-2.patch, HADOOP-9902-3.patch, > HADOOP-9902-4.patch, HADOOP-9902-5.patch, HADOOP-9902-6.patch, > HADOOP-9902-7.patch, HADOOP-9902-8.patch, HADOOP-9902-9.patch, > HADOOP-9902.patch, HADOOP-9902.txt, hadoop-9902-1.patch, more-info.txt > > > Umbrella JIRA for shell script rewrite.
