I'm happy to announce that Hadoop 1.0.2 has been accepted and released.
Bug fixes and feature enhancements in this minor release include:

   - Snappy compressor/decompressor is available
   - Occassional deadlock in metrics serving thread fixed
   - 64-bit secure datanodes failed to start, now fixed
   - Changed package names for 64-bit rpm/debs to use ".x86_64." instead of
   ".amd64."
