Hi folks Now that all issues with target 2.5.1 are committed, I am planning to cut an RC for 2.5.1 this Friday. The fixes going into 2.5.1 are - http://s.apache.org/2Mz
Are there any other "Blocker" issues that we would like to get into 2.5.1? If there are any, please mark them as "Blocker" and target "2.5.1". Committers - please avoid committing non-blockers to 2.5.1. I have put together a new wiki for the release process <https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToReleasePostMavenizationWithGit>. Would greatly appreciate any eyeballs I can get on improving it. The wiki reflects our migration to git, the updated create-release script that avoids manual massaging of tarballs and other minor improvements. Thanks Karthik
