Harsh, Thank you for the information. I still have a few more related questions:
- Does this mean only releases under "tags" are built using ant? What about the trunk (no build.xml in the root?) - If I am going to attempt to contribute to Hadoop, do I check out release-1.0.0 or trunk? They appear to differ. I presume 2.3/2.4/yarn is the trunk and < 2.3 is the current releases of Hadoop? Kindest regards.
