You are right, thanks for pointing that out. It is not part of the release instructions. I have been looking into other branches and the version is not updated for them either after the release has been done.
I will fix it shortly for branch-2.1 and fix the release instructions. -- Jesús On 7/25/16, 11:16 AM, "Rajat Khandelwal" <rajatgupt...@gmail.com> wrote: >Hi > >https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/branch-2.1/pom.xml#L24 > >Why is the version not a SNAPSHOT version?
