[Steve Loughran <st...@cloudera.com.INVALID>]

On behalf of the Apache Hadoop Project Management Committee, I am
pleased to announce the release of Apache Hadoop 3.3.4.

---
This is a release of Apache Hadoop 3.3 line.

It contains a small number of security and critical integration fixes since
3.3.3.

Users of Apache Hadoop 3.3.3 should upgrade to this release.

Users of hadoop 2.x and hadoop 3.2 should also upgrade to the 3.3.x line.
As well as feature enhancements, this is the sole branch currently
receiving fixes for anything other than critical security/data integrity
issues.

Users are encouraged to read the [overview of major changes][1] since
release 3.3.3.
For details of bug fixes, improvements, and other enhancements since the
previous 3.3.3 release,
please check [release notes][2] and [changelog][3].
