I have started testing this release yesterday by doing a full deployment / tests. But I found at least an issue I would consider a blocker for this RC: see BIGTOP-446. I provisioned 20 CentOS 6 machines (8 core, 23GB RAM each), used our puppet recipes to deploy this RC and tried to run some of my code on it (importing a dump of freebase in my triplestore and query it) Here are some notes: 1/ typo in puppet recipes. BIGTOP-446 2/ zookeeper wasn't started. Once I manually started the service (without any issue), everything got unblocked. Probably worth opening a ticket. 3/ hbase-master couldn't start because it could not connect to zookeeper because of 2/ 4/ Somehow, the jobtracker and hdfs directories got set up only after the zookeeper issue got resolved (because of 2/) 5/ I noticed quite a few crashes on the tasktracker/regionservers. Their stack traces are from being helpful. But this is an upstream issue (or me/puppet doing something stupid). 6/ Because of 5/, it would be nice to have some supervisor processes 7/ It would also be very helpful to have some munin/collectd/ganglia/nagios integration 8/ It would be nice to be able to configure HBASE heap 9/ I would rather configure hadoop heap as a percentage of available ram, instead of an absolute value Overall I really enjoyed it! The combination of puppet recipes and packages made it really easy to go from nothing to a 20 machine hadoop cluster.
