Re: [DISCUSS] Release Docs pointers Hadoop site

["Elek, Marton" <el...@apache.org>]

To be honest, I have no idea. I don't know about the historical meaning.

But as there is no other feedback, here are my guesses based on pure logic:

  * current -> should point to the release with the highest number (3.2.1)
  * stable -> to the stable 3.x release with the highest number (3.2.1 
as of now)

current2 -> latest 2.x release
stable2 -> latest stable 2.x release

It depends if stable2 = (second highest stable) or (stable from the 2.x 
line). I think the second meaning is more reasonable.

No. As the stable should point to the highest stable, not to the stable 
which was released recently.
