Hi Dev team, I am a newbie to HDFS. I just decide to use HDFS in my project and contributes patches to HDFS in the future. However, I am a bit confused about the different hadoop branches and code repo which blocks me to setup my local dev environment.
I realize the version numbers are actually different branches, e.g. branch-0.21, branch-0.22, branch-0.23, and trunk. I am wondering which branch should I use and develop on? Which one is most stable? Does trunk include all patches in other branches such as branch-0.21? For hadoop common repo, which version should I use for a particular hdfs version? Also, I realize the git repo is not updated on time when code is committed to the svn repo. Should I use the git repo for dev or build a local git repo on top of svn repo instead? Sorry for the naive questions. Your help is highly appreciated. Regards, Peter
