HCat was not tested with dated sub partitions. Having a fix for these is a good idea but there is a dependency on Oozie for this and not sure how this plays out. The retention already has a patch and will review/commit it this week.
What else is open wrt stability. There will be bugs and holding off a release calling out experimental features unstable is not a good thing. I also wanted to start a discuss thread to explore ideas to see how we can make adding new features a breeze and mark 'em as experimental. These features should take couple of release cycles to bake in and will be marked Beta/GA to be used in production. In that light, you could release a 0.4.1 stable version but I can go ahead and make a 0.5 - experimental release with new features for users to play with. Lineage is not fully baked. Security for a large part has been tested but can be marked beta. Thoughts?
