+                                               by Chukwa)
+      Added FileAdaptor for streaming small file in one chunk
+      Added compression to archive and demux output
+      Added unit tests and validation for agent, collector, and demux map 
+        reduce job
+      Added database loader for loading demux output (sequence file) to jdbc 
+        connected database
+      Added algorithm to distribute collector load more evenly
+    (Jerome Boulon, Eric Yang, Andy Konwinski, Ariel Rabkin via cdouglas)
+

+
+    HADOOP-3063  BloomMapFile - fail-fast version of MapFile for sparsely
+    populated key space (Andrzej Bialecki via stack)
+
+    HADOOP-1230. Add new map/reduce API and deprecate the old one. Generally,
+    the old code should work without problem. The new api is in 
+    org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce and the old classes in org.apache.hadoop.mapred
+    are deprecated. Differences in the new API:
+      1. All of the methods take Context objects that allow us to add new
+         methods without breaking compatability.
+      2. Mapper and Reducer now have a "run" method that is called once and
+         contains the control loop for the task, which lets applications
+         replace it.
+      3. Mapper and Reducer by default are Identity Mapper and Reducer.
+      4. The FileOutputFormats use part-r-00000 for the output of reduce 0 and
+         part-m-00000 for the output of map 0.
+      5. The reduce grouping comparator now uses the raw compare instead of 
+         object compare.
+      6. The number of maps in FileInputFormat is controlled by min and max
+         split size rather than min size and the desired number of maps.
+      (omalley)
+    
+    HADOOP-3305.  Use Ivy to manage dependencies.  (Giridharan Kesavan

+    (Sanjay Radia via acmurthy) 
+
+    HADOOP-3136. Fixed the default scheduler to assign multiple tasks to each 
+    tasktracker per heartbeat, when feasible. To ensure locality isn't hurt 
+    too badly, the scheudler will not assign more than one off-switch task per 
+    heartbeat. The heartbeat interval is also halved since the task-tracker is 
+    fixed to no longer send out heartbeats on each task completion. A 
+    slow-start for scheduling reduces is introduced to ensure that reduces 
+    aren't started till sufficient number of maps are done, else reduces of 
+    jobs whose maps aren't scheduled might swamp the cluster.
+    Configuration changes to mapred-default.xml:
+      add mapred.reduce.slowstart.completed.maps

+    HADOOP-2570. "work" directory created unconditionally, and symlinks
+    created from the task cwds.
+
+    HADOOP-2574. Fixed mapred_tutorial.xml to correct minor errors with the
+    WordCount examples. (acmurthy) 
+
+Release 0.15.2 - 2008-01-02
+
+  BUG FIXES
+
+    HADOOP-2246.  Moved the changelog for HADOOP-1851 from the NEW FEATURES 
+    section to the INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES section. (acmurthy)
+
+    HADOOP-2238.  Fix TaskGraphServlet so that it sets the content type of 
+    the response appropriately.  (Paul Saab via enis)
+
+    HADOOP-2129.  Fix so that distcp works correctly when source is
+    HDFS but not the default filesystem.  HDFS paths returned by the
+    listStatus() method are now fully-qualified.  (cutting)
+
+    HADOOP-2378.  Fixes a problem where the last task completion event would
+    get created after the job completes. (Alejandro Abdelnur via ddas)
+
+    HADOOP-2228.  Checks whether a job with a certain jobId is already running
+    and then tries to create the JobInProgress object. 
+    (Johan Oskarsson via ddas)
+
+    HADOOP-2422.  dfs -cat multiple files fail with 'Unable to write to 
+    output stream'.  (Raghu Angadi via dhruba)
+
+    HADOOP-2460.  When the namenode encounters ioerrors on writing a
+    transaction log, it stops writing new transactions to that one.
+    (Raghu Angadi via dhruba)
+
+    HADOOP-2227.  Use the LocalDirAllocator uniformly for handling all of the
+    temporary storage required for a given task. It also implies that
+    mapred.local.dir.minspacestart is handled by checking if there is enough
+    free-space on any one of the available disks. (Amareshwari Sri Ramadasu
+    via acmurthy)
+
+    HADOOP-2437.  Fix the LocalDirAllocator to choose the seed for the
+    round-robin disk selections randomly. This helps in spreading data across
+    multiple partitions much better. (acmurhty)
+
+    HADOOP-2486. When the list of files from the InMemoryFileSystem is obtained
+    for merging, this patch will ensure that only those files whose checksums

+    from occurring when starting the NameNode with certain locales.
+    (Matthias Friedrich via nigel)
+
+  IMPROVEMENTS
+
+    HADOOP-2160.  Remove project-level, non-user documentation from

+
+    HADOOP-2382.  Add hadoop-default.html to subversion. (cutting)
+
+    HADOOP-2158. hdfsListDirectory calls FileSystem.listStatus instead
+    of FileSystem.listPaths. This reduces the number of RPC calls on the
+    namenode, thereby improving scalability.  (Christian Kunz via dhruba)
+
+Release 0.15.1 - 2007-11-27
+
+  INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES

+    Introduced a new API ClientProtocol.getContentLength that returns the
+    size of the subtree. (Dhruba Borthakur via dhruba)
+
+  IMPROVEMENTS
+
+    HADOOP-1917.  Addition of guides/tutorial for better overall
+    documentation for Hadoop. Specifically: 
+    * quickstart.html is targetted towards first-time users and helps them 
+      setup a single-node cluster and play with Hadoop. 
+    * cluster_setup.html helps admins to configure and setup non-trivial
+      hadoop clusters.
+    * mapred_tutorial.html is a comprehensive Map-Reduce tutorial. 
+    (acmurthy) 
+
+  BUG FIXES
+
+    HADOOP-2174.  Removed the unnecessary Reporter.setStatus call from
+    FSCopyFilesMapper.close which led to a NPE since the reporter isn't valid
+    in the close method. (Chris Douglas via acmurthy) 
+
+    HADOOP-2172.  Restore performance of random access to local files
+    by caching positions of local input streams, avoiding a system
+    call. (cutting)
+
+    HADOOP-2205.  Regenerate the Hadoop website since some of the changes made
+    by HADOOP-1917 weren't correctly copied over to the trunk/docs directory. 
+    Also fixed a couple of minor typos and broken links. (acmurthy)

+
+    HADOOP-785.  Add support for 'final' Configuration parameters,
+    removing support for 'mapred-default.xml', and changing
+    'hadoop-site.xml' to not override other files.  Now folks should
+    generally use 'hadoop-site.xml' for all configurations.  Values
+    with a 'final' tag may not be overridden by subsequently loaded
+    configuration files, e.g., by jobs.  (Arun C. Murthy via cutting)
+
+    HADOOP-1846. DatanodeReport in ClientProtocol can report live

+
+    HADOOP-1819.  Jobtracker cleanups, including binding ports before
+    clearing state directories, so that inadvertently starting a
+    second jobtracker doesn't trash one that's already running. Removed
+    method JobTracker.getTracker() because the static variable, which
+    stored the value caused initialization problems.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+

+    (acmurthy via omalley)
+
+    HADOOP-1874.  Move task-outputs' promotion/discard to a separate thread

+    (Devaraj Das via acmurthy)
+

+    (Hairong Kuang via nigel)
+
+    HADOOP-2016.  Ignore status-updates from FAILED/KILLED tasks at the

+    thus handicap the cleanup of the task's output sub-directory. (acmurthy)
+
+    HADOOP-1771. Fix a NullPointerException in streaming caused by an

+    HADOOP-2051. The TaskCommit thread should not die for exceptions other
+    than the InterruptedException. This behavior is there for the other long
+    running threads in the JobTracker. (Arun C Murthy via ddas)
+
+    HADOOP-1973. The FileSystem object would be accessed on the JobTracker
+    through a RPC in the InterTrackerProtocol. The check for the object being
+    null was missing and hence NPE would be thrown sometimes. This issue fixes
+    that problem.  (Amareshwari Sri Ramadasu via ddas) 
+
+    HADOOP-2033.  The SequenceFile.Writer.sync method was a no-op, which caused
+    very uneven splits for applications like distcp that count on them.
+    (omalley)
+
+    HADOOP-2070.  Added a flush method to pipes' DownwardProtocol and call

+    org.apache.hadoop.dfs.  (Hairong Kuang via dhruba)
+
+    HADOOP-1779. Replace INodeDirectory.getINode() by a getExistingPathINodes()
+    to allow the retrieval of all existing INodes along a given path in a

+
+    HADOOP-1231.  Add generics to Mapper and Reducer interfaces.
+    (tomwhite via cutting)
+
+    HADOOP-1436.  Improved command-line APIs, so that all tools need

+    under-replicated should be further replicated before blocks which
+    are less under-replicated.  (Hairong Kuang via cutting)

+
+ 6. HADOOP-774. Limit the number of invalid blocks returned with
+    heartbeats by the namenode to datanodes.  Transmitting and

+
+23. HADOOP-571.  Extend the syntax of Path to be a URI; to be
+    optionally qualified with a scheme and authority.  The scheme
+    determines the FileSystem implementation, while the authority
+    determines the FileSystem instance.  New FileSystem
+    implementations may be provided by defining an fs.<scheme>.impl
+    property, naming the FileSystem implementation class.  This
+    permits easy integration of new FileSystem implementations.
+    (cutting)
+
+24. HADOOP-720.  Add an HDFS white paper to website.
+    (Dhruba Borthakur via cutting) 
+

+    usage.  (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+27. HADOOP-574.  Add an Amazon S3 implementation of FileSystem.  To

+33. HADOOP-829.  Within HDFS, clearly separate three different
+    representations for datanodes: one for RPCs, one for
+    namenode-internal use, and one for namespace persistence.
+    (Dhruba Borthakur via cutting) 
+
+34. HADOOP-823.  Fix problem starting datanode when not all configured
+    data directories exist.  (Bryan Pendleton via cutting)
+
+35. HADOOP-451.  Add a Split interface.  CAUTION: This incompatibly

+    SequenceFiles.  (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+39. HADOOP-836.  Fix a MapReduce bug on Windows, where the wrong
+    FileSystem was used.  Also add a static FileSystem.getLocal()

+    in the future.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+40. HADOOP-837.  Improve RunJar utility to unpack jar file
+    hadoop.tmp.dir, rather than the system temporary directory.

+
+52. HADOOP-846.  Report progress during entire map, as sorting of
+    intermediate outputs may happen at any time, potentially causing
+    task timeouts.  (Devaraj Das via cutting)
+
+53. HADOOP-840.  In task tracker, queue task cleanups and perform them
+    in a separate thread.  (omalley & Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+54. HADOOP-681.  Add to HDFS the ability to decommission nodes.  This

+
+11. HADOOP-554.  Fix DFSShell to return -1 for errors.
+    (Dhruba Borthakur via cutting) 
+
+12. HADOOP-626.  Correct the documentation in the NNBench example
+    code, and also remove a mistaken call there.
+    (Nigel Daley via cutting)
+
+13. HADOOP-634.  Add missing license to many files.
+    (Nigel Daley via cutting)
+
+14. HADOOP-627.  Fix some synchronization problems in MiniMRCluster
+    that sometimes caused unit tests to fail.  (Nigel Daley via cutting)
+
+15. HADOOP-563.  Improve the NameNode's lease policy so that leases
+    are held for one hour without renewal (instead of one minute).
+    However another attempt to create the same file will still succeed
+    if the lease has not been renewed within a minute.  This prevents
+    communication or scheduling problems from causing a write to fail
+    for up to an hour, barring some other process trying to create the
+    same file.  (Dhruba Borthakur via cutting)
+
+16. HADOOP-635.  In DFSShell, permit specification of multiple files
+    as the source for file copy and move commands.
+    (Dhruba Borthakur via cutting)
+
+17. HADOOP-641.  Change NameNode to request a fresh block report from
+    a re-discovered DataNode, so that no-longer-needed replications
+    are stopped promptly.  (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+18. HADOOP-642.  Change IPC client to specify an explicit connect
+    timeout.  (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+19. HADOOP-638.  Fix an unsynchronized access to TaskTracker's
+    internal state.  (Nigel Daley via cutting)
+
+20. HADOOP-624.  Fix servlet path to stop a Jetty warning on startup.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+21. HADOOP-578.  Failed tasks are no longer placed at the end of the
+    task queue.  This was originally done to work around other
+    problems that have now been fixed.  Re-executing failed tasks
+    sooner causes buggy jobs to fail faster.  (Sanjay Dahiya via cutting)
+
+22. HADOOP-658.  Update source file headers per Apache policy.  (cutting)
+
+23. HADOOP-636.  Add MapFile & ArrayFile constructors which accept a
+    Progressable, and pass it down to SequenceFile.  This permits
+    reduce tasks which use MapFile to still report progress while
+    writing blocks to the filesystem.  (cutting)
+
+24. HADOOP-576.  Enable contrib/streaming to use the file cache.  Also
+    extend the cache to permit symbolic links to cached items, rather
+    than local file copies.  (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+25. HADOOP-482.  Fix unit tests to work when a cluster is running on
+    the same machine, removing port conflicts.  (Wendy Chien via cutting)
+
+26. HADOOP-90.  Permit dfs.name.dir to list multiple directories,
+    where namenode data is to be replicated. (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+27. HADOOP-651.  Fix DFSCk to correctly pass parameters to the servlet
+    on the namenode.  (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+28. HADOOP-553.  Change main() routines of DataNode and NameNode to
+    log exceptions rather than letting the JVM print them to standard
+    error.  Also, change the hadoop-daemon.sh script to rotate
+    standard i/o log files.  (Raghu Angadi via cutting)
+
+29. HADOOP-399.  Fix javadoc warnings.  (Nigel Daley via cutting)
+
+30. HADOOP-599.  Fix web ui and command line to correctly report DFS
+    filesystem size statistics.  Also improve web layout.
+    (Raghu Angadi via cutting)
+
+31. HADOOP-660.  Permit specification of junit test output format.
+    (Nigel Daley via cutting)
+
+32. HADOOP-663.  Fix a few unit test issues.  (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+33. HADOOP-664.  Cause entire build to fail if libhdfs tests fail.
+    (Nigel Daley via cutting)
+
+34. HADOOP-633.  Keep jobtracker from dying when job initialization
+    throws exceptions.  Also improve exception handling in a few other
+    places and add more informative thread names.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+35. HADOOP-669.  Fix a problem introduced by HADOOP-90 that can cause
+    DFS to lose files.  (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+36. HADOOP-373.  Consistently check the value returned by
+    FileSystem.mkdirs().  (Wendy Chien via cutting)
+
+37. HADOOP-670.  Code cleanups in some DFS internals: use generic
+    types, replace Vector with ArrayList, etc.
+    (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+38. HADOOP-647.  Permit map outputs to use a different compression
+    type than the job output.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+39. HADOOP-671.  Fix file cache to check for pre-existence before
+    creating .  (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+40. HADOOP-665.  Extend many DFSShell commands to accept multiple
+    arguments.  Now commands like "ls", "rm", etc. will operate on
+    multiple files.  (Dhruba Borthakur via cutting)
+
+
+Release 0.7.2 - 2006-10-18
+
+ 1. HADOOP-607.  Fix a bug where classes included in job jars were not
+    found by tasks.  (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+ 2. HADOOP-609.  Add a unit test that checks that classes in job jars
+    can be found by tasks.  Also modify unit tests to specify multiple
+    local directories.  (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+
+Release 0.7.1 - 2006-10-11
+
+ 1. HADOOP-593.  Fix a NullPointerException in the JobTracker.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 2. HADOOP-592.  Fix a NullPointerException in the IPC Server.  Also
+    consistently log when stale calls are discarded.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 3. HADOOP-594.  Increase the DFS safe-mode threshold from .95 to
+    .999, so that nearly all blocks must be reported before filesystem
+    modifications are permitted.  (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+ 4. HADOOP-598.  Fix tasks to retry when reporting completion, so that
+    a single RPC timeout won't fail a task.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 5. HADOOP-597.  Fix TaskTracker to not discard map outputs for errors
+    in transmitting them to reduce nodes.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+
+Release 0.7.0 - 2006-10-06
+
+ 1. HADOOP-243.  Fix rounding in the display of task and job progress
+    so that things are not shown to be 100% complete until they are in
+    fact finished.  (omalley via cutting) 
+
+ 2. HADOOP-438.  Limit the length of absolute paths in DFS, since the
+    file format used to store pathnames has some limitations.
+    (Wendy Chien via cutting)
+
+ 3. HADOOP-530.  Improve error messages in SequenceFile when keys or
+    values are of the wrong type.  (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+ 4. HADOOP-288.  Add a file caching system and use it in MapReduce to
+    cache job jar files on slave nodes.  (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+ 5. HADOOP-533.  Fix unit test to not modify conf directory.
+   (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+ 6. HADOOP-527.  Permit specification of the local address that various
+    Hadoop daemons should bind to.  (Philippe Gassmann via cutting)
+
+ 7. HADOOP-542.  Updates to contrib/streaming: reformatted source code,
+    on-the-fly merge sort, a fix for HADOOP-540, etc.
+    (Michel Tourn via cutting)
+
+ 8. HADOOP-545.  Remove an unused config file parameter.
+    (Philippe Gassmann via cutting)
+
+ 9. HADOOP-548.  Add an Ant property "test.output" to build.xml that
+    causes test output to be logged to the console.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+10. HADOOP-261.  Record an error message when map output is lost.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+11. HADOOP-293.  Report the full list of task error messages in the
+    web ui, not just the most recent.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+12. HADOOP-551.  Restore JobClient's console printouts to only include
+    a maximum of one update per one percent of progress.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+13. HADOOP-306.  Add a "safe" mode to DFS.  The name node enters this
+    when less than a specified percentage of file data is complete.
+    Currently safe mode is only used on startup, but eventually it
+    will also be entered when datanodes disconnect and file data
+    becomes incomplete.  While in safe mode no filesystem
+    modifications are permitted and block replication is inhibited.
+    (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+14. HADOOP-431.  Change 'dfs -rm' to not operate recursively and add a
+    new command, 'dfs -rmr' which operates recursively.
+    (Sameer Paranjpye via cutting)
+
+15. HADOOP-263.  Include timestamps for job transitions.  The web
+    interface now displays the start and end times of tasks and the
+    start times of sorting and reducing for reduce tasks.  Also,
+    extend ObjectWritable to handle enums, so that they can be passed
+    as RPC parameters.  (Sanjay Dahiya via cutting)
+
+16. HADOOP-556.  Contrib/streaming: send keep-alive reports to task
+    tracker every 10 seconds rather than every 100 records, to avoid
+    task timeouts.  (Michel Tourn via cutting)
+
+17. HADOOP-547.  Fix reduce tasks to ping tasktracker while copying
+    data, rather than only between copies, avoiding task timeouts.
+    (Sanjay Dahiya via cutting)
+
+18. HADOOP-537.  Fix src/c++/libhdfs build process to create files in
+    build/, no longer modifying the source tree.
+    (Arun C Murthy via cutting)
+
+19. HADOOP-487.  Throw a more informative exception for unknown RPC
+    hosts.  (Sameer Paranjpye via cutting)
+
+20. HADOOP-559.  Add file name globbing (pattern matching) support to
+    the FileSystem API, and use it in DFSShell ('bin/hadoop dfs')
+    commands.  (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+21. HADOOP-508.  Fix a bug in FSDataInputStream.  Incorrect data was
+    returned after seeking to a random location.
+    (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+22. HADOOP-560.  Add a "killed" task state.  This can be used to
+    distinguish kills from other failures.  Task state has also been
+    converted to use an enum type instead of an int, uncovering a bug
+    elsewhere.  The web interface is also updated to display killed
+    tasks.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+23. HADOOP-423.  Normalize Paths containing directories named "." and
+    "..", using the standard, unix interpretation.  Also add checks in
+    DFS, prohibiting the use of "." or ".." as directory or file
+    names.  (Wendy Chien via cutting)
+
+24. HADOOP-513.  Replace map output handling with a servlet, rather
+    than a JSP page.  This fixes an issue where
+    IllegalStateException's were logged, sets content-length
+    correctly, and better handles some errors.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+25. HADOOP-552.  Improved error checking when copying map output files
+    to reduce nodes.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+26. HADOOP-566.  Fix scripts to work correctly when accessed through
+    relative symbolic links.  (Lee Faris via cutting)
+
+27. HADOOP-519.  Add positioned read methods to FSInputStream.  These
+    permit one to read from a stream without moving its position, and
+    can hence be performed by multiple threads at once on a single
+    stream. Implement an optimized version for DFS and local FS.
+    (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+28. HADOOP-522. Permit block compression with MapFile and SetFile.
+    Since these formats are always sorted, block compression can
+    provide a big advantage.  (cutting)
+
+29. HADOOP-567. Record version and revision information in builds.  A
+    package manifest is added to the generated jar file containing
+    version information, and a VersionInfo utility is added that
+    includes further information, including the build date and user,
+    and the subversion revision and repository.  A 'bin/hadoop
+    version' comand is added to show this information, and it is also
+    added to various web interfaces.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+30. HADOOP-568.  Fix so that errors while initializing tasks on a
+    tasktracker correctly report the task as failed to the jobtracker,
+    so that it will be rescheduled.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+31. HADOOP-550.  Disable automatic UTF-8 validation in Text.  This
+    permits, e.g., TextInputFormat to again operate on non-UTF-8 data.
+    (Hairong and Mahadev via cutting)
+
+32. HADOOP-343.  Fix mapred copying so that a failed tasktracker
+    doesn't cause other copies to slow.  (Sameer Paranjpye via cutting)
+
+33. HADOOP-239.  Add a persistent job history mechanism, so that basic
+    job statistics are not lost after 24 hours and/or when the
+    jobtracker is restarted.  (Sanjay Dahiya via cutting)
+
+34. HADOOP-506.  Ignore heartbeats from stale task trackers.
+   (Sanjay Dahiya via cutting)
+
+35. HADOOP-255.  Discard stale, queued IPC calls.  Do not process
+    calls whose clients will likely time out before they receive a
+    response.  When the queue is full, new calls are now received and
+    queued, and the oldest calls are discarded, so that, when servers
+    get bogged down, they no longer develop a backlog on the socket.
+    This should improve some DFS namenode failure modes.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+36. HADOOP-581.  Fix datanode to not reset itself on communications
+    errors with the namenode.  If a request to the namenode fails, the
+    datanode should retry, not restart.  This reduces the load on the
+    namenode, since restarts cause a resend of the block report.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+
+Release 0.6.2 - 2006-09-18
+
+1. HADOOP-532.  Fix a bug reading value-compressed sequence files,
+   where an exception was thrown reporting that the full value had not
+   been read.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+2. HADOOP-534.  Change the default value class in JobConf to be Text
+   instead of the now-deprecated UTF8.  This fixes the Grep example
+   program, which was updated to use Text, but relies on this
+   default.  (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+
+Release 0.6.1 - 2006-09-13
+
+ 1. HADOOP-520.  Fix a bug in libhdfs, where write failures were not
+    correctly returning error codes.  (Arun C Murthy via cutting)
+
+ 2. HADOOP-523.  Fix a NullPointerException when TextInputFormat is
+    explicitly specified.  Also add a test case for this.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 3. HADOOP-521.  Fix another NullPointerException finding the
+    ClassLoader when using libhdfs.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 4. HADOOP-526.  Fix a NullPointerException when attempting to start
+    two datanodes in the same directory.  (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)

+    value-compressed sequence files generated by pre-0.6.0 Hadoop.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+
+Release 0.6.0 - 2006-09-08
+
+ 1. HADOOP-427.  Replace some uses of DatanodeDescriptor in the DFS
+    web UI code with DatanodeInfo, the preferred public class.
+    (Devaraj Das via cutting)
+
+ 2. HADOOP-426.  Fix streaming contrib module to work correctly on
+    Solaris.  This was causing nightly builds to fail.
+    (Michel Tourn via cutting)
+
+ 3. HADOOP-400.  Improvements to task assignment.  Tasks are no longer
+    re-run on nodes where they have failed (unless no other node is
+    available).  Also, tasks are better load-balanced among nodes.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 4. HADOOP-324.  Fix datanode to not exit when a disk is full, but
+    rather simply to fail writes.  (Wendy Chien via cutting)
+
+ 5. HADOOP-434.  Change smallJobsBenchmark to use standard Hadoop
+    scripts.  (Sanjay Dahiya via cutting)
+
+ 6. HADOOP-453.  Fix a bug in Text.setCapacity().  (siren via cutting)
+
+
+ 7. HADOOP-450.  Change so that input types are determined by the
+    RecordReader rather than specified directly in the JobConf.  This
+    facilitates jobs with a variety of input types.
+
+    WARNING: This contains incompatible API changes!  The RecordReader
+    interface has two new methods that all user-defined InputFormats
+    must now define.  Also, the values returned by TextInputFormat are
+    no longer of class UTF8, but now of class Text.
+
+ 8. HADOOP-436.  Fix an error-handling bug in the web ui.
+    (Devaraj Das via cutting)
+
+ 9. HADOOP-455.  Fix a bug in Text, where DEL was not permitted.
+    (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+10. HADOOP-456.  Change the DFS namenode to keep a persistent record
+    of the set of known datanodes.  This will be used to implement a
+    "safe mode" where filesystem changes are prohibited when a
+    critical percentage of the datanodes are unavailable.
+    (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+11. HADOOP-322.  Add a job control utility.  This permits one to
+    specify job interdependencies.  Each job is submitted only after
+    the jobs it depends on have successfully completed.
+    (Runping Qi via cutting)
+
+12. HADOOP-176.  Fix a bug in IntWritable.Comparator.

+    formats.  Things now work correctly with CR, LF or CRLF.
+    (Dennis Kubes & James White via cutting)
+
+18. HADOOP-461.  Make Java 1.5 an explicit requirement.  (cutting)
+
+19. HADOOP-54.  Add block compression to SequenceFile.  One may now
+    specify that blocks of keys and values are compressed together,
+    improving compression for small keys and values.
+    SequenceFile.Writer's constructor is now deprecated and replaced
+    with a factory method.  (Arun C Murthy via cutting)
+
+20. HADOOP-281.  Prohibit DFS files that are also directories.

+
+21. HADOOP-486.  Add the job username to JobStatus instances returned

+
+22. HADOOP-437.  contrib/streaming: Add support for gzipped inputs.
+    (Michel Tourn via cutting)
+
+23. HADOOP-463.  Add variable expansion to config files.
+    Configuration property values may now contain variable
+    expressions.  A variable is referenced with the syntax
+    '${variable}'.  Variables values are found first in the
+    configuration, and then in Java system properties.  The default
+    configuration is modified so that temporary directories are now
+    under ${hadoop.tmp.dir}, which is, by default,
+    /tmp/hadoop-${user.name}.  (Michel Tourn via cutting)
+
+24. HADOOP-419. Fix a NullPointerException finding the ClassLoader

+    (Thomas Friol via cutting)
+
+28. HADOOP-499.  Reduce the use of Strings in contrib/streaming,
+    replacing them with Text for better performance.
+    (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+29. HADOOP-64.  Manage multiple volumes with a single DataNode.
+    Previously DataNode would create a separate daemon per configured
+    volume, each with its own connection to the NameNode.  Now all
+    volumes are handled by a single DataNode daemon, reducing the load
+    on the NameNode.  (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+30. HADOOP-424.  Fix MapReduce so that jobs which generate zero splits
+    do not fail.  (Fr??d??ric Bertin via cutting)
+
+31. HADOOP-408.  Adjust some timeouts and remove some others so that
+    unit tests run faster.  (cutting)
+
+32. HADOOP-507.  Fix an IllegalAccessException in DFS.
+    (omalley via cutting)

+
+34. HADOOP-286.  In DFSClient, avoid pinging the NameNode with
+    renewLease() calls when no files are being written.
+    (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+35. HADOOP-312.  Close idle IPC connections.  All IPC connections were
+    cached forever.  Now, after a connection has been idle for more
+    than a configurable amount of time (one second by default), the
+    connection is closed, conserving resources on both client and
+    server. (Devaraj Das via cutting)
+
+36. HADOOP-497.  Permit the specification of the network interface and
+    nameserver to be used when determining the local hostname
+    advertised by datanodes and tasktrackers.
+    (Lorenzo Thione via cutting)
+
+37. HADOOP-441.  Add a compression codec API and extend SequenceFile
+    to use it.  This will permit the use of alternate compression
+    codecs in SequenceFile.  (Arun C Murthy via cutting)
+
+38. HADOOP-483. Improvements to libhdfs build and documentation.

+40. HADOOP-517.  Fix a contrib/streaming bug in end-of-line detection.
+    (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+41. HADOOP-474.  Add CompressionCodecFactory, and use it in
+    TextInputFormat and TextOutputFormat.  Compressed input files are
+    automatically decompressed when they have the correct extension.
+    Output files will, when output compression is specified, be
+    generated with an approprate extension.  Also add a gzip codec and
+    fix problems with UTF8 text inputs.  (omalley via cutting)

+10. HADOOP-354.  Make public methods to stop DFS daemons.
+    (Barry Kaplan via cutting)
+
+11. HADOOP-252.  Add versioning to RPC protocols.
+    (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+12. HADOOP-356.  Add contrib to "compile" and "test" build targets, so
+    that this code is better maintained. (Michel Tourn via cutting)
+
+13. HADOOP-307.  Add smallJobsBenchmark contrib module.  This runs
+    lots of small jobs, in order to determine per-task overheads.
+    (Sanjay Dahiya via cutting)
+
+14. HADOOP-342.  Add a tool for log analysis: Logalyzer.
+    (Arun C Murthy via cutting)
+
+15. HADOOP-347.  Add web-based browsing of DFS content.  The namenode
+    redirects browsing requests to datanodes.  Content requests are
+    redirected to datanodes where the data is local when possible.
+    (Devaraj Das via cutting)
+
+16. HADOOP-351.  Make Hadoop IPC kernel independent of Jetty.
+    (Devaraj Das via cutting)
+
+17. HADOOP-237.  Add metric reporting to DFS and MapReduce.  With only
+    minor configuration changes, one can now monitor many Hadoop
+    system statistics using Ganglia or other monitoring systems.
+    (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+18. HADOOP-376.  Fix datanode's HTTP server to scan for a free port.

+
+19. HADOOP-260.  Add --config option to shell scripts, specifying an
+    alternate configuration directory. (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+20. HADOOP-381.  Permit developers to save the temporary files for
+    tasks whose names match a regular expression, to facilliate
+    debugging.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+21. HADOOP-344.  Fix some Windows-related problems with DF.
+    (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+22. HADOOP-380.  Fix reduce tasks to poll less frequently for map
+    outputs. (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+23. HADOOP-321.  Refactor DatanodeInfo, in preparation for
+    HADOOP-306.  (Konstantin Shvachko & omalley via cutting)
+
+24. HADOOP-385.  Fix some bugs in record io code generation.
+    (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+25. HADOOP-302.  Add new Text class to replace UTF8, removing
+    limitations of that class.  Also refactor utility methods for

+    (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+26. HADOOP-335.  Refactor DFS namespace/transaction logging in
+    namenode.   (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+

+    that multiple datanode's can be run on a single host.
+    (Devaraj Das via cutting)
+
+28. HADOOP-386.  When removing excess DFS block replicas, remove those
+    on nodes with the least free space first.
+    (Johan Oskarson via cutting)
+
+29. HADOOP-389.  Fix intermittent failures of mapreduce unit tests.
+    Also fix some build dependencies.
+    (Mahadev & Konstantin via cutting)
+

+    properties available to commands as environment variables.
+    (Michel Tourn via cutting)

+    files in a directory into a single local file.
+    (Johan Oskarson via cutting)
+
+37. HADOOP-410.  Replace some TreeMaps with HashMaps in DFS, for
+    a 17% performance improvement. (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+38. HADOOP-411.  Add unit tests for command line parser.
+    (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+39. HADOOP-412.  Add MapReduce input formats that support filtering
+    of SequenceFile data, including sampling and regex matching.
+    Also, move JobConf.newInstance() to a new utility class.
+    (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+40. HADOOP-226.  Fix fsck command to properly consider replication
+    counts, now that these can vary per file.  (Bryan Pendleton via cutting)
+
+41. HADOOP-425.  Add a Python MapReduce example, using Jython.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+
+Release 0.4.0 - 2006-06-28
+
+ 1. HADOOP-298.  Improved progress reports for CopyFiles utility, the
+    distributed file copier.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 2. HADOOP-299.  Fix the task tracker, permitting multiple jobs to
+    more easily execute at the same time.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 3. HADOOP-250.  Add an HTTP user interface to the namenode, running
+    on port 50070. (Devaraj Das via cutting)
+
+ 4. HADOOP-123.  Add MapReduce unit tests that run a jobtracker and
+    tasktracker, greatly increasing code coverage.
+    (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+ 5. HADOOP-271.  Add links from jobtracker's web ui to tasktracker's
+    web ui.  Also attempt to log a thread dump of child processes
+    before they're killed.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 6. HADOOP-210.  Change RPC server to use a selector instead of a
+    thread per connection.  This should make it easier to scale to
+    larger clusters.  Note that this incompatibly changes the RPC
+    protocol: clients and servers must both be upgraded to the new
+    version to ensure correct operation.  (Devaraj Das via cutting)
+
+ 7. HADOOP-311.  Change DFS client to retry failed reads, so that a
+    single read failure will not alone cause failure of a task.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 8. HADOOP-314.  Remove the "append" phase when reducing.  Map output
+    files are now directly passed to the sorter, without first
+    appending them into a single file.  Now, the first third of reduce
+    progress is "copy" (transferring map output to reduce nodes), the
+    middle third is "sort" (sorting map output) and the last third is
+    "reduce" (generating output).  Long-term, the "sort" phase will
+    also be removed.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 9. HADOOP-316.  Fix a potential deadlock in the jobtracker.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+10. HADOOP-319.  Fix FileSystem.close() to remove the FileSystem
+    instance from the cache.  (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+11. HADOOP-135.  Fix potential deadlock in JobTracker by acquiring
+    locks in a consistent order.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+12. HADOOP-278.  Check for existence of input directories before
+    starting MapReduce jobs, making it easier to debug this common
+    error.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+13. HADOOP-304.  Improve error message for
+    UnregisterdDatanodeException to include expected node name.
+   (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+14. HADOOP-305.  Fix TaskTracker to ask for new tasks as soon as a
+    task is finished, rather than waiting for the next heartbeat.
+    This improves performance when tasks are short.
+    (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+15. HADOOP-59.  Add support for generic command line options.  One may
+    now specify the filesystem (-fs), the MapReduce jobtracker (-jt),
+    a config file (-conf) or any configuration property (-D).  The
+    "dfs", "fsck", "job", and "distcp" commands currently support
+    this, with more to be added.  (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+16. HADOOP-296.  Permit specification of the amount of reserved space
+    on a DFS datanode.  One may specify both the percentage free and
+    the number of bytes.  (Johan Oskarson via cutting)
+
+17. HADOOP-325.  Fix a problem initializing RPC parameter classes, and
+    remove the workaround used to initialize classes.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+18. HADOOP-328.  Add an option to the "distcp" command to ignore read
+    errors while copying.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+19. HADOOP-27.  Don't allocate tasks to trackers whose local free
+    space is too low.  (Johan Oskarson via cutting)
+
+20. HADOOP-318.  Keep slow DFS output from causing task timeouts.
+    This incompatibly changes some public interfaces, adding a
+    parameter to OutputFormat.getRecordWriter() and the new method
+    Reporter.progress(), but it makes lots of tasks succeed that were
+    previously failing.  (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+
+Release 0.3.2 - 2006-06-09
+
+ 1. HADOOP-275.  Update the streaming contrib module to use log4j for
+    its logging.  (Michel Tourn via cutting)
+
+ 2. HADOOP-279.  Provide defaults for log4j logging parameters, so
+    that things still work reasonably when Hadoop-specific system
+    properties are not provided.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 3. HADOOP-280.  Fix a typo in AllTestDriver which caused the wrong
+    test to be run when "DistributedFSCheck" was specified.
+   (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+ 4. HADOOP-240.  DFS's mkdirs() implementation no longer logs a warning
+    when the directory already exists. (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+ 5. HADOOP-285.  Fix DFS datanodes to be able to re-join the cluster
+    after the connection to the namenode is lost.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 6. HADOOP-277.  Fix a race condition when creating directories.
+   (Sameer Paranjpye via cutting)
+
+ 7. HADOOP-289.  Improved exception handling in DFS datanode.
+    (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+ 8. HADOOP-292.  Fix client-side logging to go to standard error
+    rather than standard output, so that it can be distinguished from
+    application output.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 9. HADOOP-294.  Fixed bug where conditions for retrying after errors
+    in the DFS client were reversed.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+
+Release 0.3.1 - 2006-06-05
+
+ 1. HADOOP-272.  Fix a bug in bin/hadoop setting log
+    parameters. (omalley & cutting)
+
+ 2. HADOOP-274.  Change applications to log to standard output rather
+    than to a rolling log file like daemons.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 3. HADOOP-262.  Fix reduce tasks to report progress while they're
+    waiting for map outputs, so that they do not time out.
+    (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+ 4. HADOOP-245 and HADOOP-246.  Improvements to record io package.  
+    (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+ 5. HADOOP-276.  Add logging config files to jar file so that they're
+    always found.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+
+Release 0.3.0 - 2006-06-02
+
+ 1. HADOOP-208.  Enhance MapReduce web interface, adding new pages
+    for failed tasks, and tasktrackers.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 2. HADOOP-204.  Tweaks to metrics package.  (David Bowen via cutting)
+
+ 3. HADOOP-209.  Add a MapReduce-based file copier.  This will
+    copy files within or between file systems in parallel.
+    (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+ 4. HADOOP-146.  Fix DFS to check when randomly generating a new block
+    id that no existing blocks already have that id.
+    (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+ 5. HADOOP-180. Make a daemon thread that does the actual task clean ups, so
+    that the main offerService thread in the taskTracker doesn't get stuck
+    and miss his heartbeat window. This was killing many task trackers as
+    big jobs finished (300+ tasks / node). (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 6. HADOOP-200. Avoid transmitting entire list of map task names to
+    reduce tasks.  Instead just transmit the number of map tasks and
+    henceforth refer to them by number when collecting map output.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 7. HADOOP-219. Fix a NullPointerException when handling a checksum
+    exception under SequenceFile.Sorter.sort().  (cutting & stack)
+
+ 8. HADOOP-212. Permit alteration of the file block size in DFS.  The
+    default block size for new files may now be specified in the
+    configuration with the dfs.block.size property.  The block size
+    may also be specified when files are opened.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 9. HADOOP-218. Avoid accessing configuration while looping through
+    tasks in JobTracker.  (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+10. HADOOP-161. Add hashCode() method to DFS's Block.
+    (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+11. HADOOP-115. Map output types may now be specified.  These are also
+    used as reduce input types, thus permitting reduce input types to
+    differ from reduce output types.  (Runping Qi via cutting)
+
+12. HADOOP-216. Add task progress to task status page.
+    (Bryan Pendelton via cutting)
+
+13. HADOOP-233.  Add web server to task tracker that shows running
+    tasks and logs.  Also add log access to job tracker web interface.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+14. HADOOP-205.  Incorporate pending tasks into tasktracker load
+    calculations.  (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+15. HADOOP-247.  Fix sort progress to better handle exceptions.
+    (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+16. HADOOP-195.  Improve performance of the transfer of map outputs to
+    reduce nodes by performing multiple transfers in parallel, each on
+    a separate socket.  (Sameer Paranjpye via cutting)
+
+17. HADOOP-251.  Fix task processes to be tolerant of failed progress
+    reports to their parent process.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+18. HADOOP-325.  Improve the FileNotFound exceptions thrown by
+    LocalFileSystem to include the name of the file.
+    (Benjamin Reed via cutting)
+
+19. HADOOP-254.  Use HTTP to transfer map output data to reduce
+    nodes.  This, together with HADOOP-195, greatly improves the
+    performance of these transfers.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+20. HADOOP-163.  Cause datanodes that\ are unable to either read or
+    write data to exit, so that the namenode will no longer target
+    them for new blocks and will replicate their data on other nodes.
+    (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+21. HADOOP-222.  Add a -setrep option to the dfs commands that alters
+    file replication levels.  (Johan Oskarson via cutting)
+
+22. HADOOP-75.  In DFS, only check for a complete file when the file
+    is closed, rather than as each block is written.
+    (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+23. HADOOP-124. Change DFS so that datanodes are identified by a
+    persistent ID rather than by host and port.  This solves a number
+    of filesystem integrity problems, when, e.g., datanodes are
+    restarted.  (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+24. HADOOP-256.  Add a C API for DFS.  (Arun C Murthy via cutting)
+
+25. HADOOP-211.  Switch to use the Jakarta Commons logging internally,
+    configured to use log4j by default.  (Arun C Murthy and cutting)
+
+26. HADOOP-265.  Tasktracker now fails to start if it does not have a
+    writable local directory for temporary files.  In this case, it
+    logs a message to the JobTracker and exits. (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+27. HADOOP-270.  Fix potential deadlock in datanode shutdown.
+    (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+Release 0.2.1 - 2006-05-12
+
+ 1. HADOOP-199.  Fix reduce progress (broken by HADOOP-182).
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+ 2. HADOOP-201.  Fix 'bin/hadoop dfs -report'.  (cutting)
+
+ 3. HADOOP-207.  Fix JDK 1.4 incompatibility introduced by HADOOP-96.
+    System.getenv() does not work in JDK 1.4.  (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+
+Release 0.2.0 - 2006-05-05
+
+ 1. Fix HADOOP-126. 'bin/hadoop dfs -cp' now correctly copies .crc
+    files.  (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+ 2. Fix HADOOP-51. Change DFS to support per-file replication counts.
+    (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+ 3. Fix HADOOP-131.  Add scripts to start/stop dfs and mapred daemons.
+    Use these in start/stop-all scripts.  (Chris Mattmann via cutting)
+
+ 4. Stop using ssh options by default that are not yet in widely used
+    versions of ssh.  Folks can still enable their use by uncommenting
+    a line in conf/hadoop-env.sh. (cutting)
+
+ 5. Fix HADOOP-92.  Show information about all attempts to run each
+    task in the web ui.  (Mahadev konar via cutting)
+
+ 6. Fix HADOOP-128.  Improved DFS error handling. (Owen O'Malley via cutting)
+
+ 7. Fix HADOOP-129.  Replace uses of java.io.File with new class named
+    Path.  This fixes bugs where java.io.File methods were called
+    directly when FileSystem methods were desired, and reduces the
+    likelihood of such bugs in the future.  It also makes the handling
+    of pathnames more consistent between local and dfs FileSystems and
+    between Windows and Unix. java.io.File-based methods are still
+    available for back-compatibility, but are deprecated and will be
+    removed once 0.2 is released. (cutting)
+
+ 8. Change dfs.data.dir and mapred.local.dir to be comma-separated
+    lists of directories, no longer be space-separated. This fixes
+    several bugs on Windows. (cutting)
+
+ 9. Fix HADOOP-144.  Use mapred task id for dfs client id, to
+    facilitate debugging.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+10. Fix HADOOP-143.  Do not line-wrap stack-traces in web ui.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+11. Fix HADOOP-118.  In DFS, improve clean up of abandoned file
+    creations.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+12. Fix HADOOP-138.  Stop multiple tasks in a single heartbeat, rather
+    than one per heartbeat.  (Stefan via cutting)
+
+13. Fix HADOOP-139.  Remove a potential deadlock in
+    LocalFileSystem.lock().  (Igor Bolotin via cutting)
+
+14. Fix HADOOP-134.  Don't hang jobs when the tasktracker is
+    misconfigured to use an un-writable local directory.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+15. Fix HADOOP-115.  Correct an error message.  (Stack via cutting)
+
+16. Fix HADOOP-133.  Retry pings from child to parent, in case of
+    (local) communcation problems.  Also log exit status, so that one
+    can distinguish patricide from other deaths.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+17. Fix HADOOP-142.  Avoid re-running a task on a host where it has
+    previously failed.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+18. Fix HADOOP-148.  Maintain a task failure count for each
+    tasktracker and display it in the web ui.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+19. Fix HADOOP-151.  Close a potential socket leak, where new IPC
+    connection pools were created per configuration instance that RPCs
+    use.  Now a global RPC connection pool is used again, as
+    originally intended.  (cutting)
+
+20. Fix HADOOP-69.  Don't throw a NullPointerException when getting
+    hints for non-existing file split.  (Bryan Pendelton via cutting)
+
+21. Fix HADOOP-157.  When a task that writes dfs files (e.g., a reduce
+    task) failed and was retried, it would fail again and again,
+    eventually failing the job.  The problem was that dfs did not yet
+    know that the failed task had abandoned the files, and would not
+    yet let another task create files with the same names.  Dfs now
+    retries when creating a file long enough for locks on abandoned
+    files to expire.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+22. Fix HADOOP-150.  Improved task names that include job
+    names. (omalley via cutting)
+
+23. Fix HADOOP-162.  Fix ConcurrentModificationException when
+    releasing file locks. (omalley via cutting)
+
+24. Fix HADOOP-132.  Initial check-in of new Metrics API, including 
+    implementations for writing metric data to a file and for sending
+    it to Ganglia.  (David Bowen via cutting)
+
+25. Fix HADOOP-160.  Remove some uneeded synchronization around
+    time-consuming operations in the TaskTracker.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+26. Fix HADOOP-166.  RPCs failed when passed subclasses of a declared
+    parameter type.  This is fixed by changing ObjectWritable to store
+    both the declared type and the instance type for Writables.  Note
+    that this incompatibly changes the format of ObjectWritable and
+    will render unreadable any ObjectWritables stored in files.
+    Nutch only uses ObjectWritable in intermediate files, so this
+    should not be a problem for Nutch.  (Stefan & cutting)
+
+27. Fix HADOOP-168.  MapReduce RPC protocol methods should all declare
+    IOException, so that timeouts are handled appropriately.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+28. Fix HADOOP-169.  Don't fail a reduce task if a call to the
+    jobtracker to locate map outputs fails.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+29. Fix HADOOP-170.  Permit FileSystem clients to examine and modify
+    the replication count of individual files.  Also fix a few
+    replication-related bugs. (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+30. Permit specification of a higher replication levels for job
+    submission files (job.xml and job.jar).  This helps with large
+    clusters, since these files are read by every node.  (cutting)
+
+31. HADOOP-173.  Optimize allocation of tasks with local data.  (cutting)
+
+32. HADOOP-167.  Reduce number of Configurations and JobConf's
+    created.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+33. NUTCH-256.  Change FileSystem#createNewFile() to create a .crc
+    file.  The lack of a .crc file was causing warnings.  (cutting)
+
+34. HADOOP-174.  Change JobClient to not abort job until it has failed
+    to contact the job tracker for five attempts, not just one as
+    before.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+35. HADOOP-177.  Change MapReduce web interface to page through tasks.
+    Previously, when jobs had more than a few thousand tasks they
+    could crash web browsers.  (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+36. HADOOP-178.  In DFS, piggyback blockwork requests from datanodes
+    on heartbeat responses from namenode.  This reduces the volume of
+    RPC traffic.  Also move startup delay in blockwork from datanode
+    to namenode.  This fixes a problem where restarting the namenode
+    triggered a lot of uneeded replication. (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+37. HADOOP-183.  If the DFS namenode is restarted with different
+    minimum and/or maximum replication counts, existing files'
+    replication counts are now automatically adjusted to be within the
+    newly configured bounds. (Hairong Kuang via cutting)
+
+38. HADOOP-186.  Better error handling in TaskTracker's top-level
+    loop.  Also improve calculation of time to send next heartbeat.
+    (omalley via cutting)
+
+39. HADOOP-187.  Add two MapReduce examples/benchmarks.  One creates
+    files containing random data.  The second sorts the output of the
+    first.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+40. HADOOP-185.  Fix so that, when a task tracker times out making the
+    RPC asking for a new task to run, the job tracker does not think
+    that it is actually running the task returned.  (omalley via cutting)
+
+41. HADOOP-190.  If a child process hangs after it has reported
+    completion, its output should not be lost.  (Stack via cutting)
+
+42. HADOOP-184. Re-structure some test code to better support testing
+    on a cluster.  (Mahadev Konar via cutting)
+
+43. HADOOP-191  Add streaming package, Hadoop's first contrib module.
+    This permits folks to easily submit MapReduce jobs whose map and
+    reduce functions are implemented by shell commands.  Use
+    'bin/hadoop jar build/hadoop-streaming.jar' to get details.
+    (Michel Tourn via cutting)
+
+44. HADOOP-189.  Fix MapReduce in standalone configuration to
+    correctly handle job jar files that contain a lib directory with
+    nested jar files.  (cutting)
+
+45. HADOOP-65.  Initial version of record I/O framework that enables
+    the specification of record types and generates marshalling code
+    in both Java and C++.  Generated Java code implements
+    WritableComparable, but is not yet otherwise used by
+    Hadoop. (Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)
+
+46. HADOOP-193.  Add a MapReduce-based FileSystem benchmark.
+    (Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)
+
+47. HADOOP-194.  Add a MapReduce-based FileSystem checker.  This reads
+    every block in every file in the filesystem.  (Konstantin Shvachko
+    via cutting)
+
+48. HADOOP-182.  Fix so that lost task trackers to not change the
+    status of reduce tasks or completed jobs.  Also fixes the progress
+    meter so that failed tasks are subtracted. (omalley via cutting)
+
+49. HADOOP-96.  Logging improvements.  Log files are now separate from
+    standard output and standard error files.  Logs are now rolled.
+    Logging of all DFS state changes can be enabled, to facilitate
+    debugging.  (Hairong Kuang via cutting)

+Release 0.1.1 - 2006-04-08
+
+ 1. Added CHANGES.txt, logging all significant changes to Hadoop.  (cutting)
+
+ 2. Fix MapReduceBase.close() to throw IOException, as declared in the
+    Closeable interface.  This permits subclasses which override this
+    method to throw that exception. (cutting)
+
+ 3. Fix HADOOP-117.  Pathnames were mistakenly transposed in
+    JobConf.getLocalFile() causing many mapred temporary files to not
+    be removed.  (Raghavendra Prabhu via cutting)
+ 
+ 4. Fix HADOOP-116. Clean up job submission files when jobs complete.
+    (cutting)
+
+ 5. Fix HADOOP-125. Fix handling of absolute paths on Windows (cutting)
