I built a tar from the tag, ran some basic tests on a single node cluster and it ran just fine. I am a bit concerned about the unit tests though. I ran all of the unit tests and I saw several failures
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.TestStartup org.apache.hadoop.yarn.server.resourcemanager.TestApplicationCleanup org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.v2.app.TestRMContainerAllocator org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TestLazyOutput org.apache.hadoop.tools.mapred.TestUniformSizeInputFormat The only JIRA I could find for these failures is MAPREDUCE-3776 which covers TestRMContainerAllocator. I am not sure if 0.23.1 is being considered alpha quality and if so do we want to let unit test failures block the release. --Bobby Evans On 2/14/12 11:28 PM, "Arun C Murthy" <[email protected]> wrote: I've created another release candidate for hadoop-0.23.1 that I would like to release. It is available at: http://people.apache.org/~acmurthy/hadoop-0.23.1-rc1/ The hadoop-0.23.1-rc1 svn tag: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/tags/release-0.23.1-rc1 The maven artifacts for hadoop-0.23.1-rc1 are also available at repository.apache.org. Since hadoop-0.23.1-rc0 last week, we've fixed some important bugs: # HDFS-2923. Namenode IPC handler count uses the wrong configuration key. # MAPREDUCE-3858. Task attempt failure during commit results in task never completing. # MAPREDUCE-3846. Addressed MR AM hanging issues during AM restart and then the recovery. Please try the release and vote; the vote will run for the usual 7 days. thanks, Arun -- Arun C. Murthy Hortonworks Inc. http://hortonworks.com/
