This is covered on the https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToCommit page:
== snip ==
Resolve the issue as fixed, thanking the contributor. Always set the "Fix
Version" at this point, but please only set a single fix version, the earliest
release in which the change will appear. Special case- when committing to a
non-mainline branch (such as branch-0.22 or branch-0.23 ATM), please set
fix-version to either 2.x.x or 3.x.x appropriately too.
== snip ==
So if a patch has been committed to branch-2.8, branch-2, and trunk,
then the fix version should be 2.8.0 and only 2.8.0.
Bear in mind that this field determines what changes appear in the
changelog and release notes. If this field is filled out incorrectly, then
this commit will effectively be missing for end users or appear in the wrong
version as ‘new’.

This is when cutting the release and has no bearing on what committers
should be putting in JIRA. If an RM decides that a commit shouldn’t be in a
release, they are responsible for reverting the commit and changing the fix
version to whatever is appropriate.
