      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-183">HADOOP-183</a>.  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.<br />(Hairong Kuang via cutting)</li>
      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-186">HADOOP-186</a>.  Better error handling in TaskTracker's top-level
loop.  Also improve calculation of time to send next heartbeat.<br />(omalley via cutting)</li>
      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-187">HADOOP-187</a>.  Add two MapReduce examples/benchmarks.  One creates
files containing random data.  The second sorts the output of the
first.<br />(omalley via cutting)</li>
      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-185">HADOOP-185</a>.  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.<br />(omalley via cutting)</li>
      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-190">HADOOP-190</a>.  If a child process hangs after it has reported
completion, its output should not be lost.<br />(Stack via cutting)</li>
      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-184">HADOOP-184</a>. Re-structure some test code to better support testing
on a cluster.<br />(Mahadev Konar via cutting)</li>
      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-191">HADOOP-191</a>  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.<br />(Michel Tourn via cutting)</li>
      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-189">HADOOP-189</a>.  Fix MapReduce in standalone configuration to
correctly handle job jar files that contain a lib directory with
nested jar files.<br />(cutting)</li>
      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-65">HADOOP-65</a>.  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.<br />(Milind Bhandarkar via cutting)</li>
      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-193">HADOOP-193</a>.  Add a MapReduce-based FileSystem benchmark.<br />(Konstantin Shvachko via cutting)</li>
      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-194">HADOOP-194</a>.  Add a MapReduce-based FileSystem checker.  This reads
every block in every file in the filesystem.<br />(Konstantin Shvachko
via cutting)</li>
      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-182">HADOOP-182</a>.  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.<br />(omalley via cutting)</li>
      <li><a href="http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-96">HADOOP-96</a>.  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.<br />(Hairong Kuang via cutting)</li>
