+1 on the discussion for dropping HDFS support in ORC 3.0. For now, I would like to volunteer as the release manager for ORC 2.1.0 scheduled to release on January 17th. - https://github.com/apache/orc/milestone/28
Since 2.1.0 is a big release containing over 100 issues, we may need more than one RC vote. Therefore I will be cutting RC0 earlier on the 6th to ensure we meet the target date. Please let me know if there is anything I need to bring in.
