Hi folks, I've noticed with the backporting efforts for 2.8.1, we're losing some x.y.0 fix versions (e.g. 2.9.0). Our fix version scheme is described here (also quoted)
https://hadoop.apache.org/versioning.html 1. For each *minor* release line, set the *lowest unreleased a.b.c version, where c ≥ 0*. 2. For each *major* release line, set the *lowest unreleased a.b.0 version*. This JIRA query for instance turns up 44 JIRAs with fix versions 2.8.1 or 2.8.2 and not 2.9.0: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20in%20(HADOOP%2C%20HDFS%2C%20YARN%2C%20MAPREDUCE)%20and%20fixVersion%20in%20(%222.8.1%22%2C%20%222.8.2%22)%20and%20fixVersion%20!%3D%20%222.9.0%22 Best, Andrew
