Re: [VOTE] Release Hadoop 0.21.0 (candidate 2)Doug Cutting 2010-08-20, 17:32

I verified the checksum & signature and ran some of the example programs. I also ran RAT to check that sources are licensed correctly. I only examined the merged artifact. Do we need to release the others? The out-of-box experience isn't great. There's no documentation at the top-level telling how to get started. In a subsequent release we might add links to the various documents. Also, 'bin/start-all.sh' warns that one should use start-dfs.sh and start-mapred.sh instead, but those scripts, out-of-the-box, complain that that they can't find Common. There are some empty java source files in the release, namely: ./common/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/fs/ftp/FTPFileSystemConfigKeys.java ./hdfs/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/server/namenode/metrics/NameNodeStatisticsMBean.java ./hdfs/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/server/namenode/metrics/NameNodeStatistics.java ./hdfs/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/server/datanode/metrics/DataNodeStatistics.java ./hdfs/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/server/datanode/metrics/DataNodeStatisticsMBean.java These issues should not prevent this release, in my opinion.
