I downloaded the "combined" tarball of 0.21.0-rc0 and set it up as a pseudo-distributed Hadoop cluster.
Everything seems to work; basic smoke tests pass. Did not run internal unit tests. I tested Sqoop 1.0.0 against this release. All sqoop unit tests pass. Sqoop can operate on the command-line as a "normal" Hadoop application against 0.21.0 successfully as long as MAPREDUCE-1920 is applied (or the appropriate configuration changes are made in mapred-site.xml). The other problem I found is that build-utils.xml is missing which prevents recompilation. I am a (nonbinding) +1 to this release candidate along with modifications to include MR-1920 and fix the missing build-utils.xml issue. - Aaron On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 12:25 AM, Tom White <t...@cloudera.com> wrote: > I have created a candidate build for Hadoop 0.21.0.
