title: Most stable version to work with in Hadoop 2.x
body: <p>I wanted to know the most stable version of Hadoop 2.x until now.</p>
  
  <p>I saw in some forums that Hadoop 2.2 and 2.4 are kind of stable, but I need more advice.</p>
  
  <p>Added to this, Is it possible to install Hadoop 2.x, Eclipse Europa and Cygwin in Windows 7 and develop Hadoop applications with eclipse Europa? I've been searching for a tutorial but I found solutions only for Hadoop 1.x? Is it the same thing?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for helping me.</p>
