Hi Arun, all,
When we merged YDH and CDH for CDH3b3, we went through the effort of
"linearizing" all of the YDH patches and squashing multiple commits
into
single ones corresponding to a single JIRA where possible. So, we
have a
100% linear set of patches that applies on top of the 0.20.2 source
tree and
includes Yahoo 0.20.100.3 as well as almost all the patches from
0.20-append
and a number of other backports.
Since this could be applied as a linear set of patches instead of a
big
lump, would there be interest in using this as the 0.20.>100 Apache
release?
I can take the time to remove any patches that are cloudera specific
or not
yet applied upstream.
Interesting discussion, thanks.
I'm sure it took you a fair amount of work to squash patches (which I
tried too, btw). That, plus the fact that we would need to do a
similar amount of work for the 10 or so releases we have done after
0.20.100.3 scares me.
As we Nigel and I discussed here, the jumbo patch and an up-to-date
CHANGES.txt provides almost all of the benefits we seek and allows all
of us to get this done very quickly to focus on hadoop-0.22 and beyond.
What do you think?
OTOH, I could get this release done and start squashing patches for
the sake of completeness as a background activity.
Thoughts?
thanks,
Arun
