Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-9280:
-----------------------------------------
[~farrellee] Thank you for pointing out the releases and clearing things.
bq. Suresh, I am not a Hadoop committer. I am just an end user who suffered
from this issue and reported / responded on these tickets. I cannot point you
to the code base / branch. That is the Hadoop team who knows where their code
lives.
That is reasonable. However, in several comments you indicated the release as
0.2. This is indeed a release from may be 5-6 years ago and is not in use any
more. My reason for asking you to point out the release is to understand the
exact release you are talking about, so that I can out figure the release you
were pointing out. When pointing out the issues, using the right release
numbers would help.
I also think there may be some confusion around release numbering and upgrade
paths. It indeed is confusing.
* Hadoop community decided to call the release 0.20.205 as 1.0 due to its
stability. It is off of 0.20 branches.
* 0.22, 0.23 and 2.x are later releases. These are off of the branches that
come after 0.20. Hence upgrade from 0.22 or 0.23 to 1.0 is going from a later
release to a release based on older branch. The right upgrade path is to go
from 0.23 to 2.0. Going from 0.23 to 1.0 is not a supported upgrade path.
bq. The problem is that this fix never went into any of the 1.x branches.
Based on the above explanation, not all the major fixes go from 0.23 and 2.0
releases to 1.x release. Only the issues that are flagged by the community as
important goes to 1.x releases.
> HADOOP-7101 was never merged from 0.23.x to the 1.x branch
