+Apache Hadoop Git/Jira FixVersion validation
+============================================================
+
+Git commits in Apache Hadoop contains Jira number of the format
+HADOOP-XXXX or HDFS-XXXX or YARN-XXXX or MAPREDUCE-XXXX.
+While creating a release candidate, we also include changelist
+and this changelist can be identified based on Fixed/Closed Jiras
+with the correct fix versions. However, sometimes we face few
+inconsistencies between fixed Jira and Git commit message.
+
+git_jira_fix_version_check.py script takes care of
+identifying all git commits with commit
+messages with any of these issues:
+
+1. commit is reverted as per commit message
+2. commit does not contain Jira number format in message
+3. Jira does not have expected fixVersion
+4. Jira has expected fixVersion, but it is not yet resolved
+
+Moreover, this script also finds any resolved Jira with expected
+fixVersion but without any corresponding commit present.
+
+This should be useful as part of RC preparation.
+
+git_jira_fix_version_check supports python3 and it required
+installation of jira:
+
+```
+$ python3 --version
+Python 3.9.7
+
+$ python3 -m venv ./venv
+
+$ ./venv/bin/pip install -r dev-support/git-jira-validation/requirements.txt
+
+$ ./venv/bin/python dev-support/git-jira-validation/git_jira_fix_version_check.py
+
+```
+
+The script also requires below inputs:
+```
+1. First commit hash to start excluding commits from history:
+   Usually we can provide latest commit hash from last tagged release
+   so that the script will only loop through all commits in git commit
+   history before this commit hash. e.g for 3.3.2 release, we can provide
+   git hash: fa4915fdbbbec434ab41786cb17b82938a613f16
+   because this commit bumps up hadoop pom versions to 3.3.2:
+   https://github.com/apache/hadoop/commit/fa4915fdbbbec434ab41786cb17b82938a613f16
+
+2. Fix Version:
+   Exact fixVersion that we would like to compare all Jira's fixVersions
+   with. e.g for 3.3.2 release, it should be 3.3.2.
+
+3. JIRA Project Name:
+   The exact name of Project as case-sensitive e.g HADOOP / OZONE
+
+4. Path of project's working dir with release branch checked-in:
+   Path of project from where we want to compare git hashes from. Local fork
+   of the project should be up-to date with upstream and expected release
+   branch should be checked-in.
+
+5. Jira server url (default url: https://issues.apache.org/jira):
+   Default value of server points to ASF Jiras but this script can be
+   used outside of ASF Jira too.
+```
+
+
+Example of script execution:
+```
+JIRA Project Name (e.g HADOOP / OZONE etc): HADOOP
+First commit hash to start excluding commits from history: fa4915fdbbbec434ab41786cb17b82938a613f16
+Fix Version: 3.3.2
+Jira server url (default: https://issues.apache.org/jira):
+Path of project's working dir with release branch checked-in: /Users/vjasani/Documents/src/hadoop-3.3/hadoop
+
+Check git status output and verify expected branch
+
+On branch branch-3.3.2
+Your branch is up to date with 'origin/branch-3.3.2'.
+
+nothing to commit, working tree clean
