Arun, it is unclear if MAPREDUCE-5211 has implications in 2.0.4 as per https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5211?focusedCommentId=13670574&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13670574 Hence, there's a good chance that it never will be backported. And I don't have any plans to created 'a release per patch'. > Also, this is the first time we are seeing a four-numbered scheme in Hadoop. > Why not call this 2.0.5-alpha? There were precedents in four-numbered schemes before: 0.20.20[3-5].0 comes to mind. As for 2.0.5-alpha: The release numbering games and votes that had happened in the last few weeks are very confusing. Some of them never been concluded, the branches are moved and artifact versions seem to be colliding. 2.0.4.x seems to work well for the stabilization purposes and it will allow to unblock downstream and integration projects quickly.
