3.1.0 release status update - Feb 17, 2018

[Wangda Tan <wh...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

Thanks for helping with 3.1.0 releases. After many patches resolved or
moved, now we have 9 blockers/criticals [1] (which is down from 33
blockers/criticals in one week before!).

Among these 9 blockers/critical:
- All 3 YARN JIRAs will be resolved in a few days.
- 3 fs/s3 related JIRAs [1] are pending review or patch. (Steve/Aaron could
you share what's your plan on this?)
In addition,
- HADOOP-14295: I saw patch is ready, Wei-Chiu, could you share your plan
on this?
- HADOOP-9747: Daryn provided a patch for this, is there any committer
could help review UGI related changes?

Apart from this, I ran JACC [3] to compare branch-3.0.0 and branch-3.1,
haven't found any incompatible changes.

Tomorrow will be our proposed VOTE start time (Feb 18, PST) for 3.1.0. If
there any issue has to be done before 3.1.0, please let me know. I plan to
move open JIRAs to 3.2.0 if I don't get updates from each contributor.

[1] project in (YARN, HADOOP, MAPREDUCE, HDFS) AND priority in (Blocker,
Critical) AND resolution = Unresolved AND "Target Version/s" = 3.1.0 ORDER
BY priority DESC
[2] HADOOP-15183, HADOOP-14831, HADOOP-13761
