Shall we consolidate effort for 2.8.0 and 3.0.0? It doesn't sounds reasonable to have two alpha releases to go in parallel. Is EC feature the main motivation of releasing hadoop 3 here? If so, I don't understand why this feature cannot land on 2.8.x or 2.9.x as an alpha feature. If we release 3.0 in a month like plan proposed below, it means we will have 4 active releases going in parallel - two alpha releases (2.8 and 3.0) and two stable releases (2.6.x and 2.7.x). It brings a lot of challenges in issues tracking and patch committing, not even mention the tremendous effort of release verification and voting. I would like to propose to wait 2.8 release become stable (may be 2nd release in 2.8 branch cause first release is alpha due to discussion in another email thread), then we can move to 3.0 as the only alpha release. In the meantime, we can bring more significant features (like ATS v2, etc.) to trunk and consolidate stable releases in 2.6.x and 2.7.x. I believe that make life easier. :) Thoughts?
