Hi, There's been a lot of talk recently about Hive 0.7.0, so in the interest of getting the process moving I'd like to propose that we create the release branch this Friday (1/28), and aim to have the release out the door by the following Friday (2/4).
Since the Hive project is on a time-based release model, one of the major release tasks involves preparing an assessment of the various in-progress features. The purpose of this exercise is to provide users with information about the status of features that are experimental or partially implemented. I would really appreciate help from everyone in putting this list together. Off the top of my head I think this section needs to include information about the new features related to security, indexing and statistics. If you have worked on any these features please spend some time this week updating the relevant JIRA tickets with notes explaining whether or not the feature is ready for users and what problems users should expect to encounter. Indexing: HIVE-417: Implement Indexing in Hive Security: HIVE-1264: Make Hive Work with Hadoop Security HIVE-842: Authentication Infrastructure for Hive HIVE-78: Authorization Infrastructure for Hive Statistics: HIVE-1361: Table/Partition Level Statistics Thanks. Carl
