I'm confused. Since GIRAPH-1112 doesn't have a patch attached to it, I presume you suggest that we patch Hadoop 2.7.3 by the patch provided on HADOOP-13579 ? When it comes to custom patching in Bigtop -- I'm a little bit nervous when we have to do it with Hadoop itself (other components I'm less concerned about). I think 2.7.4 should be out soon enough. I can also check with ODPi members around the migration plans of various vendors. IOW, if it all checks out -- is there any reason not to go with 2.7.4? Thanks, Roman. P.S. This all reminds me that we should probably have an experimental branch for Hadoop 3. Now that I'm back from my travels -- this is something I'd be more that willing to look at.
