+<!-- markdown -->
 Apache Curator version change: Apache Hadoop has updated the version of Apache Curator used from 2.6.0 to 2.7.1. This change should be binary and source compatible for the majority of downstream users. Notable exceptions:
-# Binary incompatible change: org.apache.curator.utils.PathUtils.validatePath(String) changed return types. Downstream users of this method will need to recompile.
-# Source incompatible change: org.apache.curator.framework.recipes.shared.SharedCountReader added a method to its interface definition. Downstream users with custom implementations of this interface can continue without binary compatibility problems but will need to modify their source code to recompile.
-# Source incompatible change: org.apache.curator.framework.recipes.shared.SharedValueReader added a method to its interface definition. Downstream users with custom implementations of this interface can continue without binary compatibility problems but will need to modify their source code to recompile.
 
-Downstream users are reminded that while the Hadoop community will attempt to avoid egregious incompatible dependency changes, there is currently no policy around when Hadoop's exposed dependencies will change across versions (ref http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/Compatibility.html#Java\_Classpath).

 This patch does four things:

-    * it builds toy databases for completed jobs, so we no longer have to scan 2N files on DFS to find out facts about the N jobs that have completed since the job tracker started [which can be hundreds of thousands of files in practical cases],
-    * it changes the job history browser to display more information and allow more filtering criteria, and

 The fundamental idea of MRv2 is to split up the two major functionalities of the JobTracker, resource management and job scheduling/monitoring, into separate daemons. The idea is to have a global ResourceManager (RM) and per-application ApplicationMaster (AM).  An application is either a single job in the classical sense of Map-Reduce jobs or a DAG of jobs. The ResourceManager and per-node slave, the NodeManager (NM), form the data-computation framework. The ResourceManager is the ultimate authority that arbitrates resources among all the applications in the system. The per-application ApplicationMaster is, in effect, a framework specific library and is tasked with negotiating resources from the ResourceManager and working with the NodeManager(s) to execute and monitor the tasks.
 
 The ResourceManager has two main components:
-* Scheduler (S)
-* ApplicationsManager (ASM)
+\* Scheduler (S)
+\* ApplicationsManager (ASM)
 
 The Scheduler is responsible for allocating resources to the various running applications subject to familiar constraints of capacities, queues etc. The Scheduler is pure scheduler in the sense that it performs no monitoring or tracking of status for the application. Also, it offers no guarantees on restarting failed tasks either due to application failure or hardware failures. The Scheduler performs its scheduling function based the resource requirements of the applications; it does so based on the abstract notion of a Resource Container which incorporates elements such as memory, cpu, disk, network etc.

 Set "dfs.namenode.legacy-oiv-image.dir" to an appropriate directory to make standby name node or secondary name node save its file system state in the old fsimage format during checkpointing. This image can be used for offline analysis using the OfflineImageViewer.  Use the "hdfs oiv\_legacy" command to process the old fsimage format.
