I noticed two issues: (1) I ran hadoop checknative, but it seems the binary tarball was not compiled with native library for Linux. On the contrary, the Hadoop built from source tarball with maven -Pnative can find the native libraries on the same host.
(2) I noticed that the release dates in CHANGES.txt in tag release-2.7.3-RC0 are set to Release 2.7.3 - 2016-07-27. However, the release dates in CHANGES.txt in the source and binary tar balls are set to Release 2.7.3 - 2016-08-01. This is probably a non-issue though. * Downloaded source and binary. * Verified signature. * Verified checksum. * Built from source using 64-bit Java 7 (1.7.0.75) and 8 (1.8.0.05). Both went fine. * Ran hadoop checknative On Tue, Jul 26, 2016 at 9:12 AM, Rushabh Shah < rusha...@yahoo-inc.com.invalid> wrote: > Thanks Vinod for all the release work ! > +1 (non-binding). > * Downloaded from source and built it.* Deployed a pseudo distributed > cluster. > * Ran some sample jobs: sleep, pi* Ran some dfs commands.* Everything > works fine. > > > On Friday, July 22, 2016 9:16 PM, Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli < > vino...@apache.org> wrote: > > > Hi all, > > I've created a release candidate RC0 for Apache Hadoop 2.7.3. > > As discussed before, this is the next maintenance release to follow up > 2.7.2. > > The RC is available for validation at: > http://home.apache.org/~vinodkv/hadoop-2.7.3-RC0/ < > http://home.apache.org/~vinodkv/hadoop-2.7.3-RC0/> > > The RC tag in git is: release-2.7.3-RC0 > > The maven artifacts are available via repository.apache.org < > http://repository.apache.org/> at > https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehadoop-1040/ < > https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehadoop-1040/> > > The release-notes are inside the tar-balls at location > hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/docs/releasenotes.html.
