Hi, Coming from the Apache Hadoop community.
We made a recent release of 2.7.0 [1]. We are calling it not-yet-ready with one of the primary intentions to get it vetted through downstream projects. We plan to release a 2.7.1 (or 2.7.2) when it is considered stable enough for most of our users. Can Hive move to 2.7.0, at least with the initial intention of testing/validation? Thanks, +Vinod [1] [ANNOUNCE] Apache Hadoop 2.7.0 Release http://markmail.org/thread/ytisa4w73ym4ee65 On Apr 21, 2015, at 8:33 PM, Sushanth Sowmyan <khorg...@gmail.com<mailto:khorg...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi Folks, Per my mail 3 weeks back, we should start getting ready to release 1.2 as a rollup. And as per my proposal to manage this release, I'd like to start off the process of forking 1.2, and making trunk 1.3. I've set up a cwiki page for people to land development patches that are almost done, to signal their desire that this be included in 1.2 : https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+1.2+Release+Status A rough timeline I see for this process would be to fork this Friday (24th Apr), and then start rolling out RC0 by, say, Wednesday next week. This would mean that I would request that if you want your jira included in 1.2, it be close to completion, or have a patch available for review. By mid next week, also, I expect to freeze the wiki inclusion list for features, and keep it open only for bugfixes discovered during testing the various RCs. Please feel free to edit that jira with your requests, or, if you don't have edit privileges, if you reply to this mail, I can add it in. (Also, if you don't have wiki edit privileges, you should probably ask for it. :p) Thanks! -Sushanth
