I need a stable version of hadoop with splittable bzip2 compression which is an 0.21 feature.
 
Is there a schedule for stable 0.21 release?
 
Failing that, what are my chances of getting splittable bzip2 incorporated into an 0.20.20x.x release?
 
    - Tim.

Tim,

It's highly unlikely you'll see a stable 0.21 at this point.

You can ask for a backport to 0.20.2xx (pls open a jira, better yet, a
patch :) ) or consider trying hadoop-0.23 which we just released. Fair
warning: 0.23 is very much 'alpha' quality currently.

thanks,
Arun

Thanks, Arun.

Any idea how many months to 0.23 (or higher) stable? (years?)

I'll try to get cleared to contribute and get that patch in, and meanwhile will ask for that feature in 0.20.206.

Sounds good.

The hope is that 0.23 will be stable for most folks by end of Q1, 2011 - it really depends on your scale. At Yahoo (50k nodes), Facebook and similar places it will probably take a bit longer.

Hi Tim,
I'd be happy to look at incorporating this in branch-0.20-security for the
206 release (or whatever it's called by then :-)
I opened a new Jira for the back-port,
HADOOP-4012<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4012>.
 Please assign the Jira to yourself if you'll be able to do the port.
Thanks,
--Matt

Did you mean Q4 2011 or Q1 2012?
