Hi all, I just wanted to give an update on the Kudu 1.6 release plan.
We have a few outstanding patches that I'd like to see go in for the 1.6 release: - Tests from Andrew related to disk failure handling - Wrap-up on improved re-replication from Alexey and I. We'll make a call tomorrow (Wed) on whether to ship this enabled or disabled for Kudu 1.6.0. My plan is to branch in the evening tonight and cut an RC1 on Thu. That will give us about a week of solid testing time from branch to final vote tally, since we'll have the weekend plus a couple weekdays to vote, and if we don't find any issues with RC1 then it will become Kudu 1.6.0 mid next week. If you have not sent me release notes for work you did during this release cycle, please write them up ASAP and send them to me. Please let me know if you have any concerns with this plan or any suggestions. Thanks! Mike
