I wanted to start a thread prior to starting the vote for the 0.8.1 release.
There are 3 open patches still pending https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20KAFKA%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20%220.8.1%22%20AND%20status%20%3D%20%22Patch%20Available%22%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC One patch is a slight difference between 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 with creation of topic in the docs and feel we need to still show/support both in some way in the docs. I just +1 Jay's suggestion so that can move ahead if there are no objections to what he has planned. The other I worked on and I don't see it as blocker (the patch can be applied for the case it resolves as there is some question to what we are solving and ultimately in 0.9.0 this goes away) so we could move it to 0.8.2 unless folks think it can go in 0.8.1 or should wait. I don't know anything about the Windows Bat file patch can we move that to 0.8.2 also? Once these are settled I would like to prepare the artifacts and see if there are any further issues and if not start the process for calling a vote of release candidates for 0.8.1. Thoughts? Questions? Comments? Concerns? /******************************************* Joe Stein Founder, Principal Consultant Big Data Open Source Security LLC http://www.stealth.ly Twitter: @allthingshadoop <http://www.twitter.com/allthingshadoop> ********************************************/
