I only recently discovered the "general" alias, my apologies if this was al=
l described in the past and I missed it...

The "X.Y.Z-alpha" has been confusing to me.  When I first saw "2.0.0-alpha"=
 I assumed that there would be multiple "2.0.0" branches, for example 2.0.0=
-beta, 2.0.0-rc1, 2.0.0-rc2, 2.0.0-release.  It seems fairly clear that thi=
s was an incorrect assumption.

Am I correct in my current assumption that the "-alpha" does not imply any =
future releases for the version, but is instead a redundant adjective appli=
ed to the name to make it explicit to the world at large that 2.0.0 (or 2.0=
.1) is an alpha quality branch?

Subject: Heads up: hadoop-2.0.1-alpha

Folks,

 I'm considering cutting a hadoop-2.0.1-alpha release within the next four =
weeks or so with some more major add ons I think we can get done soon:

 # Auto NN Failover (thanks for the HDFS-3042 merge today Todd) and follow-=
ons as necessary.
 # Pending security work for YARN (anything for HDFS w.r.t HA?)  # RM Resta=
rt (MAPREDUCE-4326)  # Container re-use (MAPREDUCE-3902)  # Multi-resource =
scheduling for CS (MAPREDUCE-4327).

 If you would like others please set the 'Target Version' and I'll watch th=
at list.

thanks,
Arun
