Contributing to the Hadoop project
Hello all, I would like to know how I can assist with the Hadoop project? It doesn't matter in what capacity. I just want to help out with whatever is needed.
Thanks,
Clay McDonald

Patches get applied to trunk first, then if they're needed for a
specific release branch they'll get applied to that branch as well. In
the very unusual case that a bug is only in the release branch then
whoever is managing the release would take care of applying the patch
to the branch.
As a beginning contributor I (and you, I hope!) just post patches to a
Jira and, once the patch is in good enough shape with reviews and
passes Jenkins, a committer takes care of the rest of the process.

Hi Steve,
On the wiki page (http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToContribute) it says
that most development is done in Trunk.
Let's say a bug is found in 2.0.0-alpha-rc1. Should it then be fixed in
2.0.0-alpha-rc1? How is this fix then applied to Trunk?
Regards,
Deepak

One way that can benefit you and the source is to grab the alpha/beta
releases and use them -find bugs, file bugreps, make sure your code works.
Fixes go in fastest at this time.
If you can provide patches, even better -but reporting problems in betas is
valuable on its own
