Hi all, I wanted to confirm my version numbering plan for Hadoop 3.x. We had a related thread on this topic about a year ago, mostly focusing on the branch-2 maintenance releases:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hadoop-common-dev/201504.mbox/%3CFAA30A53-C2BD-4380-9245-C8DBEC7BF386%40hortonworks.com%3E For Hadoop 3, I wanted to do something like scheme (2) in Vinod's original email from the above thread. e.g. leading up to GA, we'd have: 3.0.0-alpha1 3.0.0-alpha2 3.0.0-beta1 3.0.0 I like this scheme since it culminates in a 3.0 (what users expect) and we also are not breaking compatibility in a minor release (like we did with the 2.0-alpha -> 2.1-beta -> 2.2 series). Thanks, Andrew
