Thank you all for your requests for inclusion over at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+1.2+Release+Status . This list is now frozen for any new requests for inclusion of ordinary bugfixes or features, and we'll work our way through RCs attempting to get all the outstanding issues resolved.
There is still one final list that is not frozen, but the bar for this is higher than the previous lists, and this list will remain open until we wrap up this release. To request a JIRA for inclusion in this list, it must qualify for one of the following three cases: a) A product outage (i.e. causes a major feature of hive to not work, without there being any workaround) b) A regression (something, possibly a regular test used to work, but no longer works as of this release) c) A trivial change that carries no testing risk associated with it All committers who have requested jiras for inclusion so far, please try to get your patches in asap, and we'll get moving with the release process. :) On Thu, Apr 30, 2015 at 11:57 AM, Sushanth Sowmyan <khorg...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > As of yesterday, we had a dummy RC0 ready, and the time draws near to > start getting all the issues set about in > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+1.2+Release+Status > to getting them resolved, and then rolling out an RC1.
