Hello Everyone,

Before we agree on release cadence of the Charts I have a proposal for Prod
images. They have not been released yesterday with 1.10.11.

The relevant Dockerfile changes are part of the officially voted and
released sources and those sources are enough to build the image and push
it to the registry. In fact - I am already doing so.

I think this is perfectly fine with ASF release policy that we release the
images without extra voting in such case (it's built using the released
sources): http://www.apache.org/legal/release-policy.html#compiled-packages

I think we should continue this way and do not introduce separate cadence
to release the docker images - unless we decide to make an ad-hoc release
at some point.

I believe for the image (unlike for the Helm Chart), such ad-hoc releases
are not really possible. We will test the future Helm chart against
those released versions of images, and we should maintain backward
compatibility.

With my proposal (which I am going to talk about next week at my
"Production Image talk" and ask for feedback from the users) that if
someone wants to customize the image, they should rebuild the image on
their own using either stable (if cautions) or master (if adventurous)
Dockerfile. This way they can get the image much better size-optimized.
With the latest Breeze release, it's super-easy to build your own image
using our Dockerfile - with your own dependencies both on Python. apt dev
and apt runtime dependencies.

J.
