Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-9971:
---------------------------------------
I'm curious how this change would interact with Apache release management. I'm
not a release manager though, so I'm not fully qualified to make a decision.
Can a current release manager please comment? [~mattf], maybe you could take a
look?
My concern is that the patch seems to imply a need for an Apache release
artifact per supported platform architecture. Do we have a formally defined
list of those supported platforms? In practice, we've seen various *nixes:
multiple Linux distros, BSD, Solaris, AIX. There is also hadoop.dll and
winutils.exe for Windows.
This also would seem to drive additional complexity into the mvn build. How
would we handle uploading multiple release artifacts for multiple platforms
under the same version number, given that the mvn build is executing on one
machine with one specific architecture? Would Maven let us incrementally
upload different platform-specific artifacts under the same version number?
Would we need to scatter builds to multiple platform slaves and then gather
them for the upload? Either way implies Apache infrastructure work to
guarantee we have the right mix of machines.
commons-daemon has the same challenge of mixing Java and native deployment
artifacts, and I believe they no longer publish the native artifacts and only
release source. [~liushaohui], you mentioned hadoop-snappy. Do you know how
that project handles releases?
Thank you for the patch. It would be convenient if we can work it out, but I
think release managers are the most qualified to review.
