Dell - Internal Use - Confidential

Thomas,
I have received word from our development teams.  Here is the view our 
leadership team asserted that we need to address  to ensure that we can quickly 
respond and support deployments in the field.
We should not be taking chances with our code trees unless

1)      There is a significant benefit to doing this

2)      We understand exactly what is going to occur and what it's 
repercussions are

3)      It is tested and validated that we are capable of recreating our 
releases.


Outside of clearing up community confusion, I see no significant benefit to 
doing this.  And even though we know what is going to occur and it's 
repercussion, we don't have time to invest in testing and validating that we 
can quickly recreate our releases.
Therefore, based on their concerns, we do not want any changes made at this 
time to fred, pebbles, hadoop* or the ApacheHadoop repo.

·         Do not delete pebbles and fred - they are earlier versions of Hadoop.

·         Do not delete anything with a hadoop- prefix - These are locked 
version of in-field code.

·         Do not delete the ApacheHadoop repo - it is a meta barclamp with 
referenced dependencies and the build will break if you do.

For our assurances, you will be tagging the branch head prior to any branch 
deletion.  Is this correct?

-John

Thomas,
Give me another day to get a response from Dell's internal development team 
before taking any actions.
I have sent out an internal email detail the actions you wish to take but need 
a day to receive and correlate the email responses.

Reminder: I want to start tagging and removing the mentioned branches tomorrow.
