Hey all,
HADOOP-18073 was recently merged to trunk, which upgrades the AWS SDK to V2. Since this merge, there has been work for stabilising this SDK version upgrade, as tracked in HADOOP-18886. Further, HADOOP-18995 and HADOOP-18996 added support for Amazon Express One Zone. The SDK upgrade has brought major code changes to the hadoop-aws module. For example, In the v2 SDK, all package, class and method names have changed. Due to the upgrade being a large change, it might be good to release these changes as Hadoop 3.4.0. For this, I started creating a branch-3.4 from branch-3.3 and branch-3.4.0 for a possible release early next year. The other option would be to release from trunk as a 3.3.x release, but due to the large number of changes there this will be really difficult. Thoughts on a 3.4.0 release?
