Hi, Now that Oozie 4.3 is branched and will be happening soon, I imagine the next release we do with be Oozie 5 with Oozie On Yarn. We can continue to keep OYA in a feature branch until later when it's more stable so we don't disrupt the master branch in the meantime. We've already removed 0.23 and made Hadoop 2 the default. Removing Hadoop 1 will simplify things, and is currently in the way of other tasks like upgrading HBase. I imagine it will continue to do so more as time goes on.
I'd like to propose the following: 1. Oozie 4.3 is the last release to support Hadoop 1. If we want to do another Oozie 4.x release later, we can branch it from branch-4.3 instead of trunk. Though I expect 4.3 will be the last minor release of Oozie 4. 2. Oozie 5 (the master branch; aka trunk) will be the first release to support only Hadoop 2 and Hadoop 3 (these should be much more similar than Hadoop 1 to 2 was; I expect things will work as-is by just changing the Hadoop version so we probably won't even need profiles). We'll have Oozie On Yarn as the marquee feature. 3. We'll drop Hadoop 1 from the master branch. We can reuse parts of OOZIE-2316. 4. The master branch will become 5.0.0-SNAPSHOT instead of 4.4.0-SNAPSHOT. I'd like us to take care of #3 soon, because it's getting in the way. We might as well also take care of #4 soon too. Thoughts? thanks - Robert
