Thanks a lot, Junping Du, for managing these releases.
Just one minor point:> -- Before 2.6.4 branch is cut off, new commits
coming as fix to 2.6.4 is good to commit/merge to trunk, branch-2 and
branch-2.6.
I just want to remind everyone to not forget to also merge changes into
branch-2.7 and branch-2.8 as well, when changes are applicable, so we can
maintain consistency across those releases as well.
Thanks,-Eric Payne

Subject: [DISCUSSION] Release Plan for Apache Hadoop 2.6.4
Hello folks,
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and good rest in passed weeks. We
just had a 2.6.3 release on Dec.17 and now it is a good time to look forward to
the next branch-2.6 maintenance release - 2.6.4 in the beginning of new year.
As usual, this release will be based on latest release 2.6.3 but include a
couple of critical/blocker bug fixes that identified in community recently.
Things Done/TODO:
+ Schedule
-- According to previous email discussion thread in community, we are
prefering fast-moving way (roughly as monthly) of releasing fixes on
branch-2.6. So I would expect this release could happen around end of Jan. or
early of Feb. dependens on if RC & VOTE process going on smoothly. Also, it
should be after release 2.7.2 to get rid of any possible disturb to that
release.
+ Branch
-- 2.6.4 will be based on branch-2.6, which has been open to 2.6.4 commits
for a while. I plan to branch out branch-2.6.4 sometime next week according to
status of target/fixed fixes.
-- Before 2.6.4 branch is cut off, new commits coming as fix to 2.6.4 is
good to commit/merge to trunk, branch-2 and branch-2.6.
+ Patches
-- In last couple of days, I went through all critial/blocker bug fixes in
the coming 2.7.2 release and ping authors/committers on JIRA to ask for the
same effort on branch-2.6.4. I could do more rounds of the same practice in
case I could miss something helpful. Also, a kindly reminder from original
author and committer is also appreciated.
-- So far, 2.6.4 already has 18 fixes as list of [1] shows. However, there
are totally 55 fixes target for 2.6.4 for now [2], so there is still a large
gap and we need to work harder to resolve these tickets as many as we can and
push out some non-critical ones to meet our promise of date.
+ Release
-- Still too early to do anything directly related to RC. Will work on
resolve fixes in list of [2] first, and appreciate any help on this effort.
Any thoughts? Especially on schedule and list of patches that should be
included?
Cheers,
Junping

Subject: [RESULT] [VOTE] Release Apache Hadoop 2.6.3 RC0
Hi all in community,
I give my binding +1 to close the vote for 2.6.3 RC0. With 18 +1s (10
binding), one +0 (non-binding) and no -1s, the vote passes.
Thanks for everyone who tried the release candidate and voted. Thanks Vinod,
Sangjin and Steve to provide me advices on release process.
I'll push the release bits and send out an announcement for 2.6.3 soon.
Cheers,
Junping
