Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-9517:
----------------------------------------
Karthik, -source tree compatibility
Yes, why I say {{patch}} I mean directory layout -we already have differences
there between 1.x and 2.x; new changes are inevitable in future. Source code
applicability can change and we must not make any promises there.
A policy here could be
minor versions:
# No planned changes in source tree layout, though it may happen
# Source files may be added, deleted and moved
# Source files may change so that patches no longer cleanly apply.
major versions:
# all of the above
# a complete refactoring of the source tree, build and test toolings may happen.
