From this, I will create a release candidate RC-0 for Hadoop-1.1.0, hopefully to be available shortly after this weekend. There are over 80 patches in branch-1, over and above the contents of hadoop-1.0.3. So I anticipate that some stabilization will be needed, before the RC can be approved as a 1.1.0 release. Your participation in assuring a stable RC is very important. When it becomes available, please download it and work with it to determine whether it is stable enough to release, and report issues found. My colleagues and I will do likewise, of course, but no one company can adequately exercise a new release with this many new contributions. There are two outstanding issue that are not yet committed, but I know the contributors hope to see in 1.1.0: MAPREDUCE-4049 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4049> HADOOP-4012 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4012> Assuming there is an RC-1, and that these two patches can be committed during stabilization of RC-0, I will plan to incorporate these additional items in RC-1.
