February 2026: Hadoop build environment modernization and Java 17 readiness. Modernized the Hadoop build to Ubuntu 24.04 with ARM frontend tooling and CSS minification improvements, enabling smoother OSS compatibility and future OS support. Achieved Java 17 compatibility by upgrading Maven Javadoc plugin, resolving Javadoc errors, introducing a new Javadoc processing class, and aligning the checkstyle plugin with JDK 17 standards. These changes reduce build-time failures, improve documentation generation, and strengthen code quality gates, delivering immediate business value to CI stability and downstream developers.

January 2026: Cross-repo traceability and build platform modernization delivered with targeted improvements to Akira Ajisaka project associations and Hadoop CI pipelines. Expanded project associations now include Kyuubi, improving visibility and coordination across Hadoop/Yetus projects. Modernization of the Hadoop build system adds ARM support on Ubuntu 24.04, upgrades to JDK 17, and streamlined precommit Maven profiles (-Pnative -Pyarn-ui) to tighten validation and accelerate feedback loops. A key CI reliability enhancement fixed the website build in the GitHub workflow. These actions collectively boost business value through clearer project ownership, broader platform support, faster iteration, and stronger CI reliability.
