Hadoop releases are issued time by time. But one more thing related to
hadoop usage,
There are so many providers that provides the distribution of Hadoop ;
1. Apache Hadoop
2. Cloudera
3. Yahoo
etc.
Which distribution is best among them on production usage.
I think Cloudera's is best among them.
Best Regards,
Adarsh

I'm a newbie and I am confused by the Hadoop releases.
I thought 0.21.0 is the latest & greatest release that I
should be using but I noticed 0.20.203 has been released
lately, and 0.21.X is marked "unstable, unsupported".
Should I be using 0.20.203?
Yes, I apologize for confusing release numbering, but the best release to use
is 0.20.203.0. It includes security, job limits, and many other improvements
over 0.20.2 and 0.21.0. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the new sync support so
it isn't suitable for using with HBase. Most large clusters use a separate
version of HDFS for HBase.
