Folks, Quick update on 2.9.0 release. Looks like we are looking at around a week of delay in the feature freeze: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HADOOP/Roadmap
For feature owners, where the status is: 1. Green - no action required at this point. 2. Orange - revert with confirmation on whether backporting from trunk to branch-2 is on track 3. Red - can we get this in by week of Oct 9th? There are about 20 blocker/critical issues open: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HADOOP/Hadoop+2.9+Release We have moved out all non-(blocker/critical) inactive (open) issues to the next major release. Reach out to us if you feel any of those must be in 2.9.0. For non-(blocker/critical) active (patch available) issues, can you update the status. Consider moving out to next release if you anticipate delays. Thanks, Subru/Arun
