-----------------------------------

             Summary: SNAPSHOT build versions should compare as less than their eventual final release
                 Key: HADOOP-8340
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8340
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: util
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
            Assignee: Todd Lipcon
            Priority: Minor


We recently added a utility function to compare two version strings, based on splitting on '.'s and comparing each component. However, it considers a version like 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT as being greater than 2.0.0. This isn't right, since SNAPSHOT builds come before the final release.
