[PROPOSAL] hadoop release process changes

[Nigel Daley <nd...@yahoo-inc.com>]

All,

I'd like to propose a change to our Feature Freeze schedule for Hadoop.

Currently, we freeze on the first Friday of January, April, July, and  
October.  This schedule causes us to run into holidays right before  
these freeze dates.  For instance, due to new years holidays, the  
January freeze slipped a number of weeks.

I'd like to propose we move up the Feature Freeze 1 month to the  
first Friday in March, June, September and October to avoid these  
problems.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Nige

I've updated Jira to set the "release date" field for Hadoop 0.18.0  
to the new feature freeze date of June 6, 2008.
