I think we are trying to change an existing Apache-Hadoop process. The current process specifically says that a released branch cannot have new features checked into it.
This vote seems to be proposing that "If a new feature does not change any existing code (other than build.xml), then it is ok to check in that feature to an existing release branch". If my understanding is right, then +1 on the above proposal. thanks, dhruba On Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 1:32 PM, Zheng Shao <zs...@facebook.com> wrote: > +1 > > -----Original Message----- > From: Arun C Murthy [mailto:a...@yahoo-inc.com] > Sent: Tuesday, July 07, 2009 1:30 PM > To: common-dev@hadoop.apache.org > Subject: Re: [VOTE] Back-port TFile to Hadoop 0.20 > > > On Jul 7, 2009, at 11:55 AM, Hong Tang wrote: > > > I have talked with a few folks in the community who are interested > > in using TFile (HADOOP-3315) in their projects that are currently > > dependent on Hadoop 0.20, and it would significantly simplify the > > release process as well as their lives if we could back port TFile > > to Hadoop 0.20 (instead of putting it on yhadoop 0.20). > > > > To be clear, TFile is a new feature, but it only adds a new file > > format - no existing files are changed other than build.xml. > > > > -Hong > > > +1 > > Arun >
