Hello Alexander, thanks for your reply. This is very interesting for me indeed.
- But what about minor updates, e. g. from 1.0.1 to 1.0.4? Has this ever happened for such updates? Also I have got a similar question regarding HBase. I understand that HBase has its own datamodel on top of/ within Hadoop. It could happen (e.g. between HBase major releases) that this datamodel is changed/ extended/ ... - What about HBase minor releases in this context? Have data model changes/ conversions/ migrations ever happened between minor releases? - Is there a similar wiki page describing HBase upgrade?

This will happen when you switch major branches.
