After this is merged in is Windows still going to be a second class citizen but happens to work for more than just development or is it a fully supported platform where if something breaks it can block a release? How do we as a community intend to keep Windows support from breaking? We don't have

Re: For release 2.0.X, about when will have a stable release?

2013-04-23 Thread Robert Evans
What do you consider stable? Do you mean that it will not have the -alpha tag? That should hopefully be in a month or two. Do you mean that it is stable enough for production use? That is likely to be before the end of the year depending on the size of your cluster and your use cases, but a lot o

I agree that "destructive" is not the correct word to describe features like snapshots and windows support. However, I also agree with Konstantin that any large feature will have a destabilizing effect on the code base, even if it is done on a branch and thoroughly tested before being merged in. H

Without the stack trace of the exceptions it is hard to tell. The pruning is asynchronous, but so is a node crashing with a replica on it. The client is supposed to detect this situation and find a new replica that works. I am not that familiar with the code, but I believe in some if not all of

Our largest cluster is several thousand nodes and we still run with a replication factor of 3. We have not seen any benefit from having a larger replication factor except when it is a resource that lots of machines will use, aka distributed cache. Other then that 3 seems just fine for most map

It definitely sounds interesting, kind of like gridmix. I think that there are three big issues here. 1. Where are you going to store all of the data, or are you just going to generate random data? If it is random data then you can do this almost totally form an anonymised version of the au

Guillaume, I am not super familiar with OSGi. I have used it a little in the past, but that was 5+ years ago. I am in favor of something that will fix the CLASSPATH problems that we currently have and would allow for CLASSPATH isolation between Hadoop itself and the applications that use Hadoop.

I don't see much of a reason to have the same JIRA listed under both 0.23 and 2.0. I can see some advantage of being able to see what went into 0.23.X by looking at a 2.0.X CHANGES.txt, but unless the two are released at exactly the same time they will be out of date with each other in the best ca
