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
