Re: the release after 0.5

2010-01-18 Thread Jonathan Ellis
I've moved the already-committed-as-0.9 issues to 0.6, and created a
new 0.7 version for tickets that do not fit the goal of a quick
release fully compatible with 0.5.

 In the month since 0.5 was branched, we've already made some
 significant progress, particularly in performance.  I can't find a way
 to easily link the full list in Jira, but these include

  408+669 (mmapping sstables for reads instead of using buffered I/O):
 ~50% speed improvement
  658 (better write concurrency): ~1000% improvement when cluster is
 in degraded state
  675 (faster communication between nodes): ~100% improvement of reads
 and writes
  678 (row level caching): up to 120% improvement of reads (workload dependent)

 We also have some other interesting tickets done:
  336: add the ability to insert data to multiple rows at once -- like
 multiget, but for writes
  535: expose StorageProxy to use as a fat client (with
 StorageService.initClient)
  599: give some visibility of what Compaction is busy doing (can be a
 major source of why is it slow?)

 We have a lot of other issues tagged 0.9
 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=truemode=hidesorter/order=DESCsorter/field=priorityresolution=-1pid=12310865fixfor=12314361),
 but the above issues and the others done so far are already useful
 enough to release, both because it helps our existing users of 0.5
 [note that none of these introduce compatibility issues of any sort,
 which makes upgrading especially easy], and because improving
 performance by that much makes us look better, which helps grow the
 community. :)

 On the other hand, creating and stabilizing and testing a new release
 (that is not bugfix-only) is a non-negligible amount of overhead, and
 I would give extra weight to Eric Evans's opinion here as release
 manager.

[VOTE] Release 0.5.0 (final)

2010-01-18 Thread Eric Evans

There have been a few changes[1] in the 0.5 branch since RC3. In a perfect
world, we'd probably push those into another release candidate, but I
feel pretty good about this one, and any remaining issues can always
be added to 0.5.1.

I propose the following tag and artifacts for 0.5.0:

SVN Tag:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cassandra/tags/cassandra-0.5.0
0.5.0 artifacts: http://people.apache.org/~eevans

2010/1/6 Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com


 When we graduate, we need to have someone who will act as the Chair of
 the Project Management Committee, or Chair. The Chair reports to the
 ASF Board on behalf of the project, maintains information on the PMC
 disposition, provides write access to new committers, etc. So besides
 sounding kind of prestigious, the Chair is basically a glorified
 administrative assistant. :)

 http://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#chair

 My understanding is that the Chair a) needs to be on the PMC[1], and b)
 must volunteer for the job. So, do we have any volunteers? Jonathan

2010-01-18 Thread Jonathan Ellis
No, but we will definitely take a look at it for 0.5.1.

0.5.0 will not be perfect but it is a huge improvement over 0.4.2,
which people are still using because that's the official stable
release.  We need to fix that. :)
