RC1 is RC0 [0] (for which I opened and closed a vote last week) + UI fixes for the issue Sangjin raised (YARN-3171 and the dependencies YARN-3779, YARN-3248), additional fix to avoid incompatibility (YARN-3740), other UI bugs (YARN-1884, YARN-3544) and the MiniYARNCluster issue (right patch for YARN-2890) that Jeff Zhang raised. The RC is available at: http://people.apache.org/~vinodkv/hadoop-2.6.1-RC1/ The RC tag in git is: release-2.6.1-RC1 The maven artifacts are available via repository.apache.org<http://repository.apache.org/> at https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehadoop-1021 Some notes from our release process - - Sangjin and I moved out a bunch of items pending from 2.6.1 [2] - non-committed but desired patches. 2.6.1 is already big as is and is late by any standard, we can definitely include them in the next release. - The 2.6.1 wiki page [3] captures some (but not all) of the context of the patches that we pushed in. - Given the number of fixes pushed [4] in, we had to make a bunch of changes to our original plan - we added a few improvements that helped us backport patches easier (or in many cases made backports possible), and we dropped a few that didn't make sense (HDFS-7831, HDFS-7926, HDFS-7676, HDFS-7611, HDFS-7843, HDFS-8850). - I ran all the unit tests which (surprisingly?) passed. (Except for one, which pointed out a missing fix HDFS-7552). As discussed before [5] - This release is the first point release after 2.6.0 - I’d like to use this as a starting release for 2.6.2 in a few weeks and then follow up with more of these. Please try the release and vote; the vote will run for the usual 5 days. Thanks, Vinod [0] Hadoop 2.6.1 RC0 vote: http://markmail.org/thread/ubut2rn3lodc55iy [1] Hadoop 2.6.1 Release process thread: http://markmail.org/thread/wkbgkxkhntx5tlux [2] 2.6.1 Pending tickets: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?filter=12331711 [3] 2.6.1 Wiki page: https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Release-2.6.1-Working-Notes [4] List of 2.6.1 patches pushed: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=fixVersion%20%3D%202.6.1%20and%20labels%20%3D%20%222.6.1-candidate%22 [5] Planning Hadoop 2.6.1 release: http://markmail.org/thread/sbykjn5xgnksh6wg PS: - Note that branch-2.6 which will be the base for 2.6.2 doesn't have these fixes yet. Once 2.6.1 goes through, I plan to rebase branch-2.6 based off 2.6.1. - The additional patches in RC1 that got into 2.6.1 all the way from 2.8 are NOT in 2.7.2 yet, this will be done as a followup.
