Hi all, I've created an updated release candidate RC2 for Apache Hadoop 2.7.2.
As discussed before, this is the next maintenance release to follow up 2.7.1. The RC is available for validation at: http://people.apache.org/~vinodkv/hadoop-2.7.2-RC2/ The RC tag in git is: release-2.7.2-RC2 The maven artifacts are available via repository.apache.org <http://repository.apache.org/> at https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehadoop-1027 <https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehadoop-1027> The release-notes are inside the tar-balls at location hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/docs/releasenotes.html. I hosted this at http://people.apache.org/~vinodkv/hadoop-2.7.2-RC2/releasenotes.html <http://people.apache.org/~vinodkv/hadoop-2.7.2-RC1/releasenotes.html> for your quick perusal. As you may have noted, - I terminated the RC1 related voting thread after finding out that we didn’t have a bunch of patches that are already in the released 2.6.3 version. After a brief discussion, we decided to keep the parallel 2.6.x and 2.7.x releases incremental, see [4] for this discussion. - The RC0 related voting thread got halted due to some critical issues. It took a while again for getting all those blockers out of the way. See the previous voting thread [3] for details. - Before RC0, an unusually long 2.6.3 release caused 2.7.2 to slip by quite a bit. This release's related discussion threads are linked below: [1] and [2]. Please try the release and vote; the vote will run for the usual 5 days.
