Doug, If we can have a follow up release soon, that is fine with me. I created Jira https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-775 and attached the patch and set target version 1.5.1.
I'll change my vote to +0, then. [My sent box does show there is an attachment avro.patch, it's strange that you are not able to see it] Thanks Thiru -----Original Message----- From: Doug Cutting [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, March 05, 2011 1:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [VOTE] Avro release 1.5.0 (rc 2) We could perhaps fix this in 1.5.1 instead. The more important thing about 1.5.0 is that it establishes an API compatibility level. Being bug-free is secondary, since we can fix bugs in dot releases. For example, we could release 1.5.0 today and release 1.5.1 next week that fixes this and any other bugs that appear as more folks start testing the new release.
