Hi Thejas, Thank you very much for your proposal!
Hadoop did something similar renaming branches to branch-1 and branch-2. At the time, although I was very much in favor of the new release numbers, I thought it could have been handled better. Renaming release branches ended up being very confusing for users and I had a ton of conversations with users about how releases were related. In this situation, I feel the situation is similar, we'll release 1.0 which is really just the second maintainence release of the 0.14 branch. Thus it's 1.0 but really it's just 0.14 + some fixes. I feel this will again be confusing for users. For this important change, I think we should use a new release vehicle. Thus, I'd suggest we do the rename in trunk, soon, and then the next release of Hive will be 1.0.
