Like Taylor’s suggestion of collectively contributing small blurbs on features for the Release announcement. Thats the first thing people look on hearing a release announcement. The jira list is not very understandable at first glance.
Based on suggestions so far and a quick scan of the jiras in release notes here is a draft list in no particular order. I am sure I am missing a few impt ones. This can be pruned or modified as needed: 1- Re-architecture - [Roshan] 2- Windowing enhancements 3- SQL enhancements 4- Metrics 5- Kafka related changes 6- Security (nimbus admin groups, delegation tokens, optional impersonation) 7- PMML (Machine Learning) support. 8- Streams API 9- Module restructuring & dependency mitigation 10- Java porting 11- DRPC cmd line 12- Lambda support 13- New spouts: Kinesis & Druid ? 14- Changes to deployment and cli submission 15- RAS changes 16- Trident enhancements 17- New Admin cmds to debug cluster state 18 ... others ? Please pick the topics you can contribute blurbs for. I have put my name against one. It will help Taylor aggregate them and do the necessary final edits. -Roshan
