Wangda, I see just 13 tickets *only in 2.9.0* (https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20in%20%28YARN%2C%20MAPREDUCE%2C%20HDFS%2C%20HADOOP%29%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Fixed%20and%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.9.0%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC).
If you leave the new features / improvements, I see only 4 bugs (https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20in%20%28YARN%2C%20HDFS%2C%20MAPREDUCE%2C%20HADOOP%29%20AND%20issuetype%20not%20in%20%28Improvement%2C%20%22New%20Feature%22%29%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Fixed%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.9.0%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC). So, we don’t need any drastic measures?
