I'd like to propose that we update the version used in the pom.xml in master to be 5.0.0-SNAPSHOT. There are some potentially big-ish features that we'd likely need to introduce in a new major release, such as using the new type system that was introduced in HBase, and these would likely live in master (or a feature branch off of master).
For 3.0 and 4.0 post-release feature work, I was thinking we could branch off of these respective branches. Thoughts? Thanks, James
