Hi folks, With 3.0.0-beta1 fast approaching, I wanted to go over the proposed branching strategy.
In the early 2.x days, moving trunk immediately to 3.0.0 was a mistake. branch-2 and trunk were virtually identical, and increased backport complexity. Until we need to make incompatible changes, there's no need for a Hadoop 4.0 version. Thus, here's a proposal of branches and versions: trunk: 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT branch-3.0: 3.0.0-beta1-SNAPSHOT branch-2 and etc: remain as is LMK questions/comments/etc. Appreciate your attentiveness; I'm hoping to build consensus quickly since we have a number of open VOTEs for branch merges. Thanks, Andrew
