I've created a release candidate (RC0) for hadoop-0.23.5 that I would like to release.

This release is a sustaining release with several important bug fixes in it.

The RC is available at: http://people.apache.org/~tgraves/hadoop-0.23.5-candidate-0/
The RC tag in svn is here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hadoop/common/tags/release-0.23.5-rc0/

The maven artifacts are available via repository.apache.org.

Please try the release and vote; the vote will run for the usual 7 days.

thanks,
Tom Graves

I verified sigs and checksums, and the license and notice files - all
looked fine to me.

I ran RAT and noticed a number of Java files without headers. This was
running RAT by hand, when I did 'mvn apache-rat:check' no problems
were reported, so I think the Maven RAT checking is faulty - I've
opened HADOOP-9097 for this.

There's also a mismatch between the SVN tag and the contents of the
source tarball: the tarball has top-level LICENSE.txt, NOTICE.txt,
README.txt files (the tag doesn't), as well as some extra site
documentation files (the latter may be a consequence of HADOOP-8860
and when the tag was created).

I think it's OK to release, but these last two need fixing before the
next release.

Cheers,
Tom

Thanks Tom.  I think the top level LICENSE.txt, NOTICE.txt, and README.txt
and other site docs aren't in any of the SVN tag for any 0.23/2.X
releases.  I was following direction at
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToReleasePostMavenization and it says to
copy them from hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/*.txt and other files
into the tar balls after creating the tag.

Do you think we should change that procedure?

Yes, it would be an improvement. (But it's not a blocker for this release.)

+1 (binding)

I built the source, ran a single-node cluster, started up HDFS and YARN,
did a few FS operations, and ran a few of the example jobs. I also verified
the signatures.

Though I don't think it necessarily warrants a new RC, I will point out
that the native code in 0.23.5 does not compile on Ubuntu, I think because
this JIRA isn't included:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7868

You might want to include that in 0.23.6, or if you spin another RC of
0.23.5 for another reason I'd put it in there. It would've made my
evaluation/voting easier.

Thanks Aaron, I'll definitely pull in HADOOP-7868 into 0.23.6 and if we
re-spin into 0.23.5.  I unfortunately don't have an ubuntu box to test on.

+1, verified sigs & ran a single-node cluster.

+1 non-binding

I ran a cluster on 3 small Ubuntu VMs: 1 * namenode/resourcemanager, 2 *
datanode/nodemanager.  I ran a few MapReduce jobs, and everything worked as
expected.

Thanks to everyone for trying this release.

The vote has passed with 6 +1s (4 binding and 2 non-binding) and no -1s.

I'll push the release out today.

I brought up a cluster and ran some simple jobs.  Everything passed. +1
