Thanks Vinod for preparing the release package.
+1 (non-binding). I verified the following: - Successfully downloaded source tarball, verified md5 - Ran `mvn apache-rat:check` on source tarball, passed - Successfully built from source tarball - Successfully started a pseudo distributed cluster - Ran some basic hdfs operations, then successfully ran a distcp 1 question: >From a quick comparison between the releasenotes.html and the CHANGES.txt files in source tarball, the number of total JIRAs is quite different. Seems like CHANGES.txt misses some of the fixes, because Searching <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-4434?jql=project%20in%20(HDFS%2C%20HADOOP%2C%20MAPREDUCE%2C%20YARN)%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Fixed%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.7.2> 'project in (HDFS, HADOOP, MAPREDUCE, YARN) AND resolution = Fixed AND fixVersion = 2.7.2' from JIRA agrees with releasenotes.html (count=155). Here is how I did the check: - cat ~/Downloads/releasenotes.html |grep " https://issues.apache.org/jira/" | awk -F ">" '{print $3}'|awk -F "<" '{print $1}' |wc -l returns 155 - for f in `find . -name CHANGES.txt |grep -v target`; do cat $f |grep -B 10000 "Release 2.7.1" |grep .*-[0-9] |grep -v "Release 2.7" ; done|wc -l returns 103 I'm not sure whether this is a problem or not.
