I am planning to do cut a release candidate of 0.23.3 in the next week or so. I am waiting for a few more JIRAs to go in (MAPREDUCE-3943 and HDFS-3177), and a bit more testing before I call a vote. I know not too many people have been putting things into branch-0.23 directly, but if you do want to please check with me first. After I cut the release I will open the branch up again for more bug fixes for a 23.4 release. I expect 0.23.4 to come about a month after 0.23.3. This is to incorporate any bug fixes needed as Yahoo! and hopefully others do more testing on 0.23.3 and start rolling it out to more clusters.
