Also, speaking with my Nutch hat on, if there are plans for substantial API changes in trunk/ it would be good to have a bugfix release, which is still API compatible, and which Nutch could use - there have been tons of fixes since 0.9.2 ...

The current plan is to make the Hadoop 0.10.0 release this Friday, barring objections.

There is one significant incompatible change in this release:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-451

Do you think this causes compatibility problems when reading/writing existing Nutch data? I.e. if we upgrade Nutch to 0.10, is there an issue here(apart from API changes) that could cause older data to become unreadable?


We could make a Hadoop 0.9.3 release containing the patch for HADOOP-849 (more work for me). Instead, Nutch could simply build & commit a patched version of 0.9.2, or Nutch could upgrade to Hadoop 0.10.0 (less work for me). Thoughts?

Hmm. Let me check how much work is involved in upgrading Nutch to 0.10 on the API level ... sooner or later Nutch will have to follow these changes anyway, the question is if we have enough resources to do it now.
