With the VOTE underway for a 0.9.4 release ( if you have time, please evaluate 
the RC and vote accordingly), I’d like to turn our attention toward the 0.10.0 
release.

I’d appreciate feedback on the state of the 0.10.0 (master) branch, especially 
from those who have been involved in developing the security-related features 
(which is one of the primary features of this branch).

Personally, I know of several organizations that are using a build of 0.10.0 
successfully in production with security enabled. The main issue I’ve seen 
people struggle with is not a problem with code itself, but rather difficulties 
in setting up a secure cluster and interacting with other systems that are 
secured with Kerberos. I see that as more of a documentation issue, and not 
something that should block a release.

One feature that I think is essential for 0.10.0 is STORM-634 [1] (support for 
rolling upgrades), which was recently merged. This should make post-0.10.0 
upgrades a lot less painful for users.

Based on the feedback received thus far, it looks like all the suggested 
patches have either been merged or are ready to be merged, with the exception 
of STORM-617 [2] (no patch available yet).

Should we wait for STORM-617? Any other patch suggestions?

-Taylor
