I'm thinking in general (beyond the next immediate release). Independent of where mrunit goes, I think it should leave the contrib tree to facilitate light weight releases (the dependency on Hadoop proper is a public facing API - a pure client). I think most projects could benefit from this with the exception of things that are tightly coupled to Hadoop releases or touch non-public APIs. > I would actually prefer to move it to Extras or Incubator and leave this >> within the ASF. >> > > Extras is **NOT** inside of the ASF.
