Thanks for bringing this up, I was not familiar with other convention.
I took a look at what other Apache projects are doing, and I found
mostly 'snapshot' (see below). It may be a Java convention, but this is
a Java project :-) and seems to be what others are doing, for better or

https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/solr-nightly/tags
https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/drill/tags ( uses 'master')
https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/kyuubi/tags
https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/systemds/tags ( uses 'nightly' )
https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/hop-web/tags
https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/apisix/tags ( uses 'dev' )
https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/syncope-wa/tags
https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/submarine/tags

Thanks,
Robert
