Hadoop 0.17 Preview (Hadoop and Distributed Computing at Yahoo!)

Hadoop 0.17 Preview (Hadoop and Distributed Computing at Yahoo!): "Apache Hadoop 0.17 is due for release any day now. Feature freeze for the release was on April 4th. The Hadoop dev community is currently actively fixing blocking issues discovered by users that have tried it out. This is a release we’re very excited about as it introduces many long awaited performance fixes to the platform. We’ve observed on the order of 30%(!) improvement in the runtime of some of the Hadoop benchmarks. As always, user feedback is invaluable and we urge folks to kick the tires on the release and help close it out. Here is a quick rundown of the important changes in the release."
