Guys, Looks like we are finally getting the ducks in a row with HBase 0.98.2 in the vote; Hive 0.13 packaging patch added to BIGTOP-1293; Spark 0.9 perhaps coming any day now too. I've looked at the unresolved tickets in the queue http://is.gd/x586Zl We have 78 at the moment. I'd like to ask anyone who's helping with the release to look at it and triage them to be in or out of the release. Use your best judgement as usual.
By EOD today I will go over tickets with available patches, review them and commit or leave the feedback. I'd appreciate the help from active committers! Thanks! Cos
