Dear fellow Hadoop developers, Given the overwhelming feedback from the discussion thread https://s.apache.org/hadoop2.9eold, I'd like to start an official vote thread for the community to vote and start the 2.9 EOL process.
What this entails: (1) an official announcement that no further regular Hadoop 2.9.x releases will be made after 2.9.2 (which was GA on 11/19/2019) (2) resolve JIRAs that specifically target 2.9.3 as won't fix. This vote will run for 7 days and will conclude by September 7th, 12:00pm pacific time. Committers are eligible to cast binding votes. Non-committers are welcomed to cast non-binding votes. Here is my vote, +1
