  This page is a place to collect potential requirements for a 1.0 release of Hadoop.

+ == What does Hadoop 1.0 mean? ==
+ 
+    * No need for client recompilation when upgrading from 1.x to 1.y, where x <= y
+       * Can't remove deprecated classes or methods until 2.0
+    * Old 1.x clients can connect to new 1.y servers, where x <= y
+    * Only bug fixes in 1.x.y releases and new features in 1.x.0 releases.
+    * New !FileSystem clients must be able to call old methods when talking to old servers. This generally will be done by having old methods continue to use old rpc methods. However, it is legal to have new implementations of old methods call new rpcs methods, as long as the library transparently handles the fallback case for old servers.
+ 
+ Question: Does the release number really matter?  Should we just keep adding features, improving back-compatibility, etc?  Our ["Roadmap"] currently defines what a major release means.  Does this need updating?  -- !DougCutting
+ 
+ == Prerequisites for Hadoop 1.0 ==
  
  Please add requirements as sections below.
  
  If you comment on someone else's requirement, please add your name next to your comments.

+ === New MapReduce APIs ===
  
- == New MapReduce APIs ==
+ This is [https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1230]. The new API will provide us with much better future-proof APIs. The current Map/Reduce interface needs to be removed.

- == HDFS and MapReduce split into separate projects ==
+ === HDFS and MapReduce split into separate projects ===
  
  This was agreed to in a [http://markmail.org/message/flljdfpgj65zngsf thread on general@].  There will be three separate projects, mapred, hdfs, and a library of common APIs and utilities (fs, io, conf, etc. packages).

  List here longer-range items, that we'd like to do someday, but not in the 1.0 timeframe.
