Hi, I'm trying to get an idea of how many people plan on running Hive 0.7.0 on top of Hadoop 0.20.0 (as opposed to 0.20.1 or 0.20.2), and are in a position where they can't upgrade to one of more recent releases of the 0.20.x branch. I'm asking because there is a ticket open (HIVE-1817) that blocks the 0.7.0 release, and the simplest, lowest-risk fix for this ticket is to remove support for Hadoop 0.20.0. If we go with this solution it means that in order to use Hive 0.7.0 you will have to use Hadoop 0.20.1 or 0.20.2. The only advantage of the more complicated solution is that we will be able to retain support for Hadoop 0.20.0, but most likely at the expense of delaying the release and possibly introducing new bugs.
Thanks. Carl
