Thanks for taking the mantle from me on 2.8.0 and some persistent work getting 2.8.0 out the door, Junping!
Apologies for bringing this up late, but I’d like to add one comment. We should repeat what we did for 2.7.0 and In line with our experience there, we should annotate this release as not ready for production use. See the releases page - http://hadoop.apache.org/releases.html#25+August%2C+2016%3A+Release+2.7.3+available for our messaging on 2.7.0. The expectation is that more downstream projects pick up the bits, iron out any incompatibilities we might have missed, and production users then pick up a solid 2.8.1.
