I'm setting things up for a new release https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18305
absolute minimum of fixes. as well as some related to ZK lockdown, i would like to include https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18303 remove shading exclusion of javax.ws.rs-api from hadoop-client-runtime and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18307 remove hadoop-cos as a dependency of hadoop-cloud-storage the last one is a lstminute workaround for, a classpath ordering issue due to too many libraries having unshaded references to mozilla/prefix-list.txt https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18159 the proper fixes would be getting that updated library tested (who is set up to test tencent cloud?) and ideally (aws, cos, gcs shaded libraries to shade their references) for 3.3.4, i am just going to cut the declaration of the module as a dependency of hadoop-cloud-storage so out of downstream apps unless they explicitly ask forit. now, numbering 1. I am calling this 3.3.4 2. I am going to increase the version of branch 3.3. to 3.3.9. that leaves space for some more but doesn't confuse jira dropdown dialogs. i do believe branch-3.3. should be renamed branch-3.4 and the release i plan to do with mukund called 3.4.0, but that is another bit of project organisation. expect the first RC up soon, I am going to be away on vacation from june 28 to july 23 though, which complicates things
