Following up the discussion we had recently on doing big changes via Git versus hadoop branches, can we try this out by creating a branch for the service lifecycle stuff, HADOOP-3628

That sounds fine to me.  +1

I'm +1 too.

We need a naming convention for such feature branches. They should incorporate the jira issue id. I wonder if we should put them in a branch sub-directory? so yours might be:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/core/branches/feature/HADOOP-3638

I think we should keep the branch structure flat, with just

hadoop/core/branches/HADOOP-3638

I can't see that causing any confusion, and I'm worried that if we have subdirectories in the branches, that the git and eclipse plugins may have problems with them.
