Getting folks test releases is like pulling teeths, or herding cats, or getting three kids to agree which song from Frozen is the best :)
All jokes aside, this *is* a problem. With the goal of more frequent releases release verification needs to be a smooth process. I do not know how to fix it, but if we all could just remember to test a release (and a simple verification does not take much time) that'd help. I take some of the blame. And I'll weasel an excuse: HBaseCon. :) Please reconsider Andy. It's not always fun, but it's important service to the community. -- Lars ________________________________ From: Andrew Purtell <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 11, 2014 7:54 PM Subject: Re: [VOTE] The 1st HBase 0.98.2 release candidate (RC0) is available Actually I do resign as RM for 0.98 effective immediately.
