Hadoop 2.7.0 was first released in April of this year and marked as not a
production release. 2.7.1 was this month (July). AFAICT neither CDH nor HDP
are using 2.7.x at all.
Hadoop installations don't get upgraded very frequently; it's
"non-trivial". IMO it is better to wait for users to ask for an update to get
the pacing right.
