Well, this is slightly incorrect. It wasn't really fixed for .22. That's why I opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2377 as part of Bigtop work on .22. I hoped that RMs would actively monitor HDFS, MAPRED and COMMON jira traffic, since given the unfortunate proliferation of branches in Hadoop one never knows which branch your users will be reporting the bugs in. That said, you're right -- I should have been more explicit and push for it to be included in .205 (honestly, I'm really surprised this is like the 4th time Cos has to commit the same fix to a different branch :-(). > Testing a release candidate is a community effort, > and out of all the people in the community who tested the RC, no one found > or raised this as an issue. I find this really difficult to believe. Either I'm doing something incorrectly, or you guys had 0 testing with unsecured deployments of Hadoop. If there's a way to start an unsecure datanode without running into this issue I'd appreciate it very much if you could tell me how. >.And yes, I am considering a 0.20.205.1 bug fix release, so if a tested patch > is submitted in the near future, it can go in.

That is, actually, predicated on keeping us in the loop as part of the release criteria. If you feel that Bigtop adds value to the hadoop release process I'd love to collaborate with you on any future releases that you might want to do. Does that make sense? Thanks, Roman.
