If you do want it on 2.4 then that will have to be your own fork of it, with all the test problems that follow. Look to Apache Bigtop for integration testing there. w.r.t to 2.6, if the code is the same on both branches, we can usually just commit to 2.6 then cherry pick forwards to branch-2 & trunk. if a different patch is needed, then that needs to be a separate JIRA. One thing we do worry about is testing of this stuff, which we do automatically with jenkins: https://builds.apache.org/view/H-L/view/Hadoop/ There is a solaris machine in the ASF jenkins farm, getting some help setting this up would be great. You wont have permissions to edit the settings —if you have a colleague working on ASF projects then they might, so getting them to help would aid setup. -Steve -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE NOTICE: This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
