Hi,

Just curious -- what is the current status of the 2.8 release? It looks
like the release process for some time.

There are 5 or 6 blocker / critical bugs of the upcoming 2.8 release:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-6654?jql=3Dproject%20in%20(HDFS%=
2C%20HADOOP%2C%20MAPREDUCE%2C%20YARN)%20AND%20status%20in%20(Open%2C%20%22I=
n%20Progress%22%2C%20Reopened%2C%20%22Patch%20Available%22)%20AND%20priorit=
y%20in%20(Blocker%2C%20Critical)%20AND%20%22Target%20Version%2Fs%22%20in%20=
(2.8.2%2C%202.8.3)

I think we can address them in reasonable amount of effort.

We are interested in putting 2.8.x in production and it would be great to
have a maintenance Apache release for the 2.8 line.

I wonder, are there any concerns of not getting the release out? We might
be able to get some helps internally to fix the issues in the 2.8 lines. I
can also volunteer to be the release manager for 2.8.2 if it requires more
effort to coordinate to push the release out.

Regards,
Haohui
