Hi Ed, This seems aggressive. We have 4 open blockers and 68 other issues > slated for 0.7.0. >
Three of the four open blockers involve writing metastore upgrade scripts. I'm willing to assume responsibility for this and can get it ready for review in the next couple of days. The same thing holds for the commons-cli downgrade ticket (HIVE-1817), I just need to people to agree on whether or not we can desupport Hadoop 0.20.0 in Hive 0.7.0. As for the 68 other issues that are marked 0.7.0, I'd appreciate your help in determining which of these are actually blockers versus the majority which I think fall into the nice-to-have category. I'm going to make a first pass later today. Going forward I think we should make an effort to not set the "Fixed Version" field until a ticket is marked as Resolved/Fixed. Doing otherwise seems inconsistent with a a time-based release strategy. Thanks. Carl
