Colin, We usually conclude the last VOTE before starting a new one. Otherwise, people may be confused between the VOTEs. (In case you don't know our convention. Please check with someone before starting a VOTE. Thanks.)
-1 * The previous VOTE started by Colin has not been concluded. * The branch is not ready. The code misuses DataTransferProtocol. Documentation of the new conf properties are missing. Also, the code in the branch needs to be polished. See HDFS-347 and HDFS-4661 for more details.

It's been under review and testing for several months, and provides both a performance advantage, and the ability to use short-circuit local reads without compromising system security. Previously, we tried to merge this and the objection was brought up that we should keep the old, insecure short-circuit local reads around so that platforms for which secure SCR had not yet been implemented could use it (e.g. Windows). This has been addressed-- see HDFS-4538 for details. Suresh has also volunteered to maintain the insecure SCR code until secure SCR can be implemented for Windows. Please cast your vote by EOD Monday 4/8. best, Colin
