-1 (binding) I tested the release candidate by building the sources and running unit tests. Also verified signatures and functionally tested some services like WehbHDFS, Hive, Hbase and Yarn.
All that looked good but when testing the new UI proxy support for Ambari I did find an issue with some of the widgets that was caused by the inability to properly encode request URLs dispatched from Knox with Œunwise¹ characters in them. I thought I had fixed this before but the fix was improper. The appropriate fix for https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-690 however does fix this issue. I¹d like to propose cherry picking the commits in master for KNOX-690 into the 0.9.0 branch and cutting another RC. Sorry for the extra go around. Sumit.
