Having releases like this kind of versions (back to 2x.x..) may confuse people? Hadoop-2 and 23.x may not have big difference right.
already community decided to make the branches as 1, 2....etc.. So again going back to 2x.x releases may really confuse people. I confused by seeing this release mail here. Why can't people put real effort on hadoop-2 itself and make it stable as that is the version community wanted to make it stable from alpha? Why this effort split here. -thx On Fri, Aug 24, 2012 at 2:22 AM, Robert Evans <ev...@yahoo-inc.com> wrote: > [https://mail.google.com/mail/images/cleardot.gif] > > > I am planning to do cut a release candidate of 0.23.3 in the next week or > so.
