Hi, Just curious -- what is the current status of the 2.8 release? It looks like the release process for some time.
There are 5 or 6 blocker / critical bugs of the upcoming 2.8 release: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-6654?jql=project%20in%20(HDFS%2C%20HADOOP%2C%20MAPREDUCE%2C%20YARN)%20AND%20status%20in%20(Open%2C%20%22In%20Progress%22%2C%20Reopened%2C%20%22Patch%20Available%22)%20AND%20priority%20in%20(Blocker%2C%20Critical)%20AND%20%22Target%20Version%2Fs%22%20in%20(2.8.2%2C%202.8.3) I think we can address them in reasonable amount of effort. We are interested in putting 2.8.x in production and it would be great to have a maintenance Apache release for the 2.8 line. I wonder, are there any concerns of not getting the release out? We might be able to get some helps internally to fix the issues in the 2.8 lines. I can also volunteer to be the release manager for 2.8.2 if it requires more effort to coordinate to push the release out. Regards, Haohui
