You've got it a bit backwards - except for very rare exceptions, we check our fixes into the public ASF codebase before we commit anything to CDH releases. Sometimes, it will show up in a CDH release before an ASF release, but the changes are always done as backports from ASF'[s subversion. You can see the list of public JIRAs referenced in our changelists here: http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh/3/hadoop-0.20.2+923.97.CHANGES.txt Apologies for the vendor-specific comment: I just wanted to clarify that Cloudera's aim is to contribute to the community and not any kind of fork as suggested above. Back to work on 0.23 for me! -Todd -- Todd Lipcon Software Engineer, Cloudera
