The minimum required versions of the native components on which Hadoop depends
at compile time and/or runtime SHALL be considered
[Stable](./InterfaceClassification.html#Stable). Changes to the minimum
required versions MUST NOT increase between minor releases within a major
version.
[Evolving](./InterfaceClassification.html#Evolving). Changes to the minimum
required versions SHOULD NOT increase between minor releases within a major
version, though updates because of security issues, license issues, or other
reasons may occur. When the native components on which Hadoop depends must
be updated between minor releases within a major release, where possible the
changes SHOULD only change the minor versions of the components without
changing the major versions.
