Need some clarification on contributing...

[Bharath R <r....@huawei.com>]

Hi , 

I am representing a private firm, and we have a team working on Hadoop
"0.20.1" and we have done some bug fixes for our internal customers. Now ,
we want to contribute our changes back to open src and we are expecting that
our bug fixes may be reflected in the future major / minor releases , so
that we can directly use the 
latest open src release of Hadoop to use the new features of the latest
Hadoop. 

We have below queries w.r.t contributing to the community 

1) Which would be the most appropriate branch or trunk we need to
contribute? 

2) If we contribute in "0.20.1" tagged release , whether this will be
reflected in the upcoming "0.22.0" release  ? 

3) Should we need to prepare two separate patched for "0.20.1" and "0.22.0
trunk" version. ? 
 
Your early response would be highly appreciated ! 

Regards
Bharath R
