Have a nice day. > all development is on the trunk branch of hadoop, which is on at svn.apache.org, with git hosted versions on github. https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/ Some -but not all- changes in trunk go back to branch-2 if you are coding on hadoop, expect to have branch-2 and trunk code trees to hand, and perhaps some VMs running the different branches to test things across both I have some apachecon slides on the topic of getting into Hadoop development http://www.slideshare.net/steve_l/inside-hadoopdev Summary: there's a lot of complexity in the core codebase, and the risk to things -especially data- means that there's a lot of resistance to major changes, particularly if you aren't (yet) known, your code and test quality accepted. Some of the higher-up-the-stack projects are more agile and more willing to take risks, the difference between, say Linux kernel and Linux apps. And equally interesting. So don't just focus on the hadoop project as the place do work on Hadoop, there's lots of fun up the stack -and as you do work there, you can then start working with the core hadoop projects on the needs of those projects -Steve -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE NOTICE: This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is confidential, privileged and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
