Mukund has just created the new Hadoop release JIRA, https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18470, and is doing the first build/test before pushing it up. This is off branch-3.3, so it will have more significant changes than the 3.3.3 and 3.3.4 releases, which were just CVE/integration fixes.
The new branch, branch-3.3.5 has its maven/hadoop.version set to 3.3.5-SNAPSHOT. All JIRA issues fixed/blocked for 3.3.9 now reference 3.3.5. The next step of the release is to actually move those wontfix issues back to being against 3.3.9 There is still a 3.3.9 version; branch-3.3's maven build still refers to it. Issues found/fixed in branch-3.3 *but not the new branch-3.3.5 branch- should still refer to this version. Anything targeting the 3.3.5 release must be committed to the new branch, and have its JIRA version tagged appropriately. All changes to be cherrypicked into 3.3.5, except for those ones related to the release process itself, MUST be in branch-3.3 first, and SHOULD be in trunk unless there is some fundamental reason they can't apply there (reload4j etc). Let's try and stabilise this releases, especially bringing up to date all the JAR dependencies which we can safely update. Anyone planning to give talks at ApacheCon about forthcoming features already in 3.3 SHOULD 1. reference Hadoop 3.3.5 as the version 2. make sure their stuff works. Mukund will be at the conf; find him and offer any help you can in getting this release out. I'd like to get that Arm64 build working....does anyone else want to get involved? -steve
