There is also a big difference between supporting an operating system and supporting all versions of an library. Just to be clear, we made the Hadoop 0.20 release back in April 2009 more than 4 years ago, which is more than 50% of Hadoop's entire lifetime. In fact, it was before Hive 0.3 was released. Hadoop 0.20 is very old and the discussion over how long to support it is well overdue. -- Owen
