Re: 0.19.2 release needed

[Scott Carey <sc...@richrelevance.com>]

I am still interested in seeing a 0.19.2 release soon.  The 0.19.2-dev and 0.18.4-dev branches have been close to dormant for over a month, yet contain many critical fixes.


With the Yahoo distribution out there, 0.20.1 is a slightly lower priority for me.  Additionally, several other components are not yet 0.20.x compatible anyway.


What does the rest of the community think?

Hi,

I would also be interested in having a 0.19.2 release, or even more
releases. 

If you are starting to run your cluster, you don't know which version you
should take. Some releases were unstable (eg taskstrackers running out of
memory, or executing maps sequentially after a certain number of jobs,
multifileoutputformat not working with threads, ..). If we are upgrading to
a major version number, we are nearly always hitting a bug which makes our
system unreliable.

Also now with yahoo's release of their own version, what happens if I use
that version? Will there be more releases after that one from yahoo? Can I
migrate my cluster back to the official branch afterwards without losing
data?

I want to feed some mapside join patches in, time to get off my duff and
submit them :)
