Thanks Karthik for the comment.

Pros:

* (Probably) we can release 2.8.0 earlier.

  * New feature in 2.8.0 will be available sooner.
* We can deprecate APIs sooner. After 2.8.0 is released, we can remove them from trunk.

Cons:

* Maintenance cost becomes higher because # of branches becomes more.
* New feature in 2.9.0 will be available later

I'm okay with either releasing current branch-2.8 or re-cutting it.

Thoughts?

Regards,
Akira

re-cutting the branch off of branch-2?

It's almost a year since branch-2.8 has cut.
I'm thinking we need to release 2.8.0 ASAP.

According to the following list, there are 5 blocker and 6 critical issues.

Hi Vinod,

Any plan on first RC for branch-2.8 ? I think, it has been long time.

Jon,

That is around the time when I branched 2.8, so I guess you were getting
SNAPSHOT artifacts till then from the branch-2 nightly builds.

If you need it, we can set up SNAPSHOT builds. Or just wait for the first
RC, which is around the corner.

Are there any plans to start producing updated SNAPSHOT artifacts for
current hadoop development lines?
