Tanks for your feedback. My comments are inline.
The README is *really* *really* minimalistic.
Do you think we need to update it prior to the release?
Well, the idea of incubation is to gather a community (besides the
legal aspect). I would suggest to at least provide more detailed
instruction how to get the things working in the wiki. Or did I miss
those?
Why are both hadoop 0.16 and 0.17 included?
The idea was that people can build with 1 version back.
That sounds like a good idea ..at least in theory :)
However, at this
point it is not possible since hadoop interfaces change between each
version. We can remove hadoop16 I think. Do we need to do this cleanup
prior to the release?
It's a bit awkward to have 0.16 in there if you cannot use it at all.
(That said I was about to send a question to the dev list about using
0.16 with pig. I need to get it working with 0.16. Will that be a
major hurdle? But let's discuss that in another thread)
Congrats to the RC. That's already a major step.
cheers
