We are voting on a proposed 0.9.0 release. Jim said it best "I think we have enough new features/bug fixes: mapreduce Combiner, custom counter checking, improved passing of the conf, better support for java/other serializations, better error messages, deprecated string methods, AssertionError's instead of RuntimeException's, separate source, binary distributions."
The proposal is to do a release with the above features and to call it 0.9.0. I am +1 on this proposal. Brock -- Apache MRUnit - Unit testing MapReduce - http://incubator.apache.org/mrunit/
