Well, the idea of incubation is to gather a community

I was going to put instructions into the release notes once the
release
is ready.
IMO this should be part of the release process so the instructions can
be tested as well.
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.
Ok. It just if we have to reroll the packages and start process over
one
more time. I was wondering if this was worth starting over.
That's really up to you guys. If you have the release procedure
properly automated I'd say: do it.
(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)
It is possible, but you would have to take pre hadoop-17 snapshot of
the
code. It is quite stable but you would be missing out on the work that
has been done since.
Bugger I was hoping to see a tag for it. Which revision would that be?
