-------------------------------------
bq. My guess is no, given most of that team has left/was shipped over to
Microsoft.
That was certainly the case at one point in the past (2.5 CEOs ago), but you
all know nothing stays the same in this business for long.
I think we have internal users who depend on pipes. We will find out whether
they can move on to streaming. If they can't because of any fundamental
shortcomings of streaming, we will need to address those.
bq. I don't think we can remove in branch-2, but let's do this for trunk.
I think the source of confusion is the tile, "Remove hadoop-pipes" and setting
the target to 2.8. I will change the title to "deprecate".
> Remove hadoop-pipes

> Key: HADOOP-12547
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12547
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe
> Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe
> Priority: Minor
>
> Development appears to have stopped on hadoop-pipes upstream for the last few
> years, aside from very basic maintenance. Hadoop streaming seems to be a
> better alternative, since it supports more programming languages and is
> better implemented.
> There were no responses to a message on the mailing list asking for users of
> Hadoop pipes... and in my experience, I have never seen anyone use this. We
> should remove it to reduce our maintenance burden and build times.
