title: Hive versions pattern
body: <p>I'm going through Hive release versions and observed the pattern of Hive versions seems bit wired.</p>
  
  <p>After 1.2.1 release which is on 27 June 2015, next version is 2.0 on 15 Feb 2016 and the versions continues. Again on 7-Apr-2017 i.e recently again Hive released 1.2.2 versions. I didn't get why again 1.2.2 instead of 2.x.y.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone shed some light.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
