4-Digit Versions

Transition to 4-Digit Versions Begins with EEP 6.1.0
With EEP 6.1.0, version numbers for some ecosystem components and MapR tools use four – rather than three – digits. In future releases, more components and tools will transition to four digits as new versions of the components are introduced. Four-digit versions enable greater precision and flexibility in the delivery of packages, patches, and Maven artifacts for MapR software. The transition to four-digit versions will happen gradually.

  • MapR Installer 1.11.0.0
  • Drill 1.15.0.0
  • Oozie 5.1.0.0
