Aha, ok, I sorry I didn't catch the build.txt. FWIW, I did look for info in the VOTE mail when I noticed that the source dist was relying on a non-released version of HBase, so it might be a good plan to mention it there. On the other hand, I shouldn't have overlooked the build.txt file. On a related note, it would be good to add a similar notice about needing a hadoop-2 build of HBase 0.94 for building the 3.0.0 release with the hadoop-2 profile (unless there is an explanation already present somewhere and I missed it). > We're hopeful that the timing will work out, as we need to go through two > release votes (one on the dev list and one on the general list), while > HBase just needs to go through one. Ok, makes sense. I don't have a real opinion either way on this. On the one hand it would be a shame to delay things for so long until the HBase 0.98.1 release, but on the other hand it would probably be an even bigger shame if somehow a breaking change went into HBase 0.98.1 (if the first RC doesn't go through) that would break Phoenix 4.0.0 (I assume that's very unlikely though). - Gabriel
