Thanks for the feedback. I would like to create a preview RC0 this week like we did for the last releases, too. In past major releases, we needed to create many release candidates, often for fixing just some small issues. I would like to speed up the release process by collecting as many issues as possible now with the RC0. Once these issues are resolved, we can start voting with the RC1. This essentially means that we have a feature freeze. I would create the release-1.1 branch with RC1.
Regarding the open issues: - The savepoint fixes are not yet in. There is a PR for the savepoint headers (#2194) and the savepoint disposal PR needs addressing of comments. - The Cassandra connector fixes are either merged or very close to be merged. - Metrics docs are not a blocker since the online docs are updated after the release. Regarding the renaming, we should decide soon. Any opinions here? - The YARN issues have been resolved. I will also make a pass over JIRA and our PRs to check whether we've missed something. @Greg: You are right, the hash-based combine PR has been extensively reviewed. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the code as I didn't look into it and cannot tell whether we should merge it now. Is the hash-based combine strategy activated by default or does the user has to activate it manually? The later case would make me feel more comfortable merging it for the release.
