I do kind of concur, but also think we need to consider whether its time to increase the jackson 2.x version ( HADOOP-12705 ).
Whether we do or don't, there will be classpath conflicts with downstream apps (hello HBase! Hello Spark!) —but we get them already. All that staying on an older one is doing is stopping us pick up later versions of other libraries (HADOOP-13050). Of course, if people are happy with upgrading Jackson, there's an issue with which one: 2.8.x appears to have some API compatibilities, which is significant. I'm a lot happier with JAR updates that are at least compile time compatible, as they don't break linking so much On 2 Nov 2016, at 00:05, Zhe Zhang <zhe.zhang.resea...@gmail.com<mailto:zhe.zhang.resea...@gmail.com>> wrote: I think recutting branch-2.8 from branch-2 is a good idea. We are running 2.6.x in production, and as a result we spend quite some effort for each patch we want to backport (branch-2 => branch-2.8 => branch-2.7).

Pros: * (Probably) we can release 2.8.0 earlier. * New feature in 2.8.0 will be available sooner. * We can deprecate APIs sooner. After 2.8.0 is released, we can remove them from trunk. Cons: * Maintenance cost becomes higher because # of branches becomes more. * New feature in 2.9.0 will be available later I'm okay with either releasing current branch-2.8 or re-cutting it.

If you need it, we can set up SNAPSHOT builds. Or just wait for the first RC, which is around the corner. +Vinod On Jul 28, 2016, at 4:27 PM, Jonathan Eagles <jeag...@gmail.com> wrote: Latest snapshot is uploaded in Nov 2015, but checkins are still coming in quite frequently. https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/ap ach e/hadoop/hadoop-yarn-api/ Are there any plans to start producing updated SNAPSHOT artifacts for current hadoop development lines? -------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:common-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: common-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:common-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org> -------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:common-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: common-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:common-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mapreduce-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:mapreduce-dev-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: mapreduce-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:mapreduce-dev-h...@hadoop.apache.org> -- Zhe Zhang Apache Hadoop Committer http://zhe-thoughts.github.io/about/ | @oldcap
