-------------------------------
Assignee: maoling
> Improve version comparison logic for HBase specific version string and add
> unit tests
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-20444
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20444
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Umesh Agashe
> Assignee: maoling
> Priority: Major
>
> As [~busbey] commented on HBASE-18792, current logic for comparing version
> strings in class org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.VersionInfo is generic and
> needs to be improved:
> {code:java}
> if (index < s1.length) {
> // s1 is longer
> return 1;
> }
> {code}
> {quote}I think this is wrong? like version "2.0.0" should be after
> "2.0.0-SNAPSHOT". it's also after "2.0.0-alpha-3" or "2.0.0-beta-1".
> {quote}
> Also in other cases 2.0.0 should be before 2.0.0-patch-XXXX and 2.0.0.1. Also
> 2.0 should be before 2.0.1.
> {quote}Can we expand the versions checked in TestVersionInfo to include a)
> some "same major different minor", b) "same minor different maintenance", c)
> both of the above, but SNAPSHOT, d) "-alpha" / "-beta"?
> {quote}
