I would like to see an addition to the note that says:

Latest stable release is 1.4.4 (download, documentation). Latest experimental 
release is 1.99.3 (download, documentation) - Note that
1.99.3 is not compatible with 1.4.4 and not feature complete, it is not 
intended for production deployment.

Or something along those lines - basically the I would like to see the phrase 
"not for production deployment" in there somewhere.

name for Sqoop 2)

Thanks to everyone contributing to the discussion.

I think it makes sense to mark Sqoop2 as Sqoop-1.99.3-prerelease and make our 
site a bit clearer about its lack of backward compatibility.

If this doesn't help - we can re-visit the rename idea.

How about taking the following steps:
- Change the blurb on our front page from:
"Latest stable release is 1.4.4 (download, documentation). Latest cut of Sqoop2 
is 1.99.3 (download, documentation)."

to:
"Latest stable release is 1.4.4 (download, documentation). Latest experimental 
release is 1.99.3 (download, documentation) - Note that
1.99.3 is not compatible with 1.4.4 and not feature complete."

- Change all references to 1.99.3 to "1.99.3-prerelease"

- Add clarifications in Sqoop2 docs that Sqoop1 parameters and connectors are 
not supported.

- I'd like to also change the name of our Sqoop2 shell client to something less 
confusing, but can't think of anything good here :)

What do you think?

Gwen
