Hi folks, Thanks to the hard work of many contributors, we've been steadily burning down alpha2 blockers. There are only 4 remaining, three of which are PA and likely to be committed shortly.
Once those three go in (hopefully this week), I'm going to cut the alpha2 branch and wait for that last blocker. Normal development activity can continue on trunk and branch-2, and doesn't need to be committed to the alpha2 branch. Since we still have some significant code to wrap up (Tomcat->Jetty conversion, EC work, rolling upgrade compatibility), it's likely there will also be an alpha3 before we freeze for beta1. I've updated the Hadoop 3 wiki page [1] to reflect this.
