I was looking to forward porting MR-2358.
The original 20.203 does not apply because trunk has lots of
improvements in MR since 20 due to context objects.
The attached trunk patch does not look correct. I will post a correct
trunk patch if indeed the bug still exists in trunk.
Further the bug fixed by 2358 only surfaced during the testing of
viewfs. Since viewfs is not part of 22 I would not worry
about this one for 22.

Hey,
The discussion this week about the 0.20.203.0 release has done a
great job
of highlighting some issues in our development process; it's also
done a
great job of lifting our mailing list activity metrics. After reading
through the various threads, it's clear that everyone agrees on two
things:
1) We'd like to get the work done in the 0.20.x branches into trunk
2) We'd like to start releasing off of trunk again
To that end, a few folks from Yahoo!, Cloudera, StumbleUpon, and
Facebook
would like to put together a series of Hackathons to 1) burn down
the 13
(only 13!) remaining blockers for the 0.22 release and 2) forward-
port the
work done in the 0.20.x branches into trunk.
Cloudera will be hosting Hackathons from 10 am to 6 pm in both our
Palo Alto
and San Francisco offices next Wednesday, 5/11, and the following
Wednesday,
5/18, to ensure both of these tasks get completed in short order. PMC
members Todd Lipcon and Tom White will lead the SF group and PMC
members Eli
Collins and Patrick Hunt will lead the Palo Alto group.
Whether you're a long-time contributor or don't have a patch to your
name,
now is a great time to get involved in Apache Hadoop development.
Forward
porting patches is a lot easier than writing them from scratch, and
you'll
have mentors present to help guide you through the patch testing and
submission process.
To sign up for the 5/11 Hackathon in either SF or PA, head over to
http://hadoophackathon.eventbrite.com.
As a reminder, the SF HUG will be held on 5/11 at 6 pm in the
Cloudera SF
offices: http://www.meetup.com/hadoopsf/events/17354462/. If you
can't make
it on 5/11, we'll send out a link next week for the 5/18 event.
Looking forward to getting the release train moving again!
Regards,
Jeff
p.s. if you'd like to participate remotely, email me directly and
I'll see
about how we can teleconference you into the event.
