Hey all, Quick update on the development branch 0.89.20100621.
I think the following patches still need to go in: - HBASE-2767 (failed tests building with HDFS-1209) - HBASE-2729 (fix bug when flush hits IOE) - I'd also like to disable the TestAcidGuarantees test in this branch, since that is a known bug. - I'd like to commit a short KNOWN_BUGS file which describes a few of the open issues that we're currently working on. Certainly doesn't have to be exhaustive list of all open JIRAs, but just a few things that users may run into. Aside from that, my testing indicates the branch should be ready to release. Some performance issues were raised during testing at StumbleUpon -- any luck figuring those out, Ryan/Stack? It would be good to address them for the dev release, since it sounds like the RS barely makes progress when this bug is triggered. Given the above, I'd like to see if we can get the above two jiras reviewed and committed later tonight, and I'll try to roll a release candidate before I go to sleep. I think the correct way to release in this maven land is to simply do an svn export and vote on that, and then separately do an assembly:assembly tar as a binary release artifact (since assembly tar doesn't include unpacked source, etc). [ Obligatory reminder that the purpose of this dev release is to get something usable into users' hands, and not to claim that it's a release quality artifact - hence I'm hoping we can vote tomorrow/Thurs and release by Friday at the latest. If there are big problems, we'll just document them as known bugs and do another release next week, but I think showing release momentum coming into the Hadoop Summit will do great things for the project. ] -Todd -- Todd Lipcon Software Engineer, Cloudera
