Hello Everyone,

We need one more PMC member vote in order to be able to release the
packages.

Just to describe what the current status of the batch is:

Based on discussion here: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/14511 -
I am planning to follow the process we had previously documented in our
release procedures so far - that release manager tries to batch a number of
providers in single "voting process" and when there are problems discovered
with certain providers they might be excluded.

I plan to skip the following providers from release now and release them
together on a ad-hoc basis whenever all the relevant issues are merged:

* apache.druid, microsoft.azure, apache.beam

I also noticed that snowflake python connector has been released this
morning as promised
https://pypi.org/project/snowflake-connector-python/2.4.0/ - it fixes
the last problem with the dependencies that were plaguing us, so I also
plan to remove the snowflake provider from this batch.


---------

I just wanted to use the opportunity to describe the current process for
deciding providers, because apparently not everyone is aware that we
already have an established and documented process for provider's releases
that was discussed on the devlist and it is documented in our release
process description.

Possibly we will extract it into a separate policy and maybe discuss some
aspects of it (the discussion was raised today at the dev call of ours but
I wanted to make sure that we are all referring to the same "starting
point" and the "process" I based my recent actions on.

*1) Batching the providers as the default*

The decision on when to release and particularly preference for releasing
providers in batches is described in the
https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/master/dev/README_RELEASE_PROVIDER_PACKAGES.md#decide-when-to-release


> Decide when to release
> You can release provider packages separately from the main Airflow on an
ad-hoc basis, whenever we find that
a given provider needs to be released - due to new features or due to bug
fixes.
You can release each provider package separately, but due to voting and
release overhead we try to group
releases of provider packages together.

*2) Possibility of excluding certain packages from the release.*

The possibility of excluding certain packages which (for whatever reason)
we decide to remove at the discretion of release manager is described here:
https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/master/dev/README_RELEASE_PROVIDER_PACKAGES.md#prepare-voting-email-for-providers-release-candidate

Prepare voting email for Providers release candidate
....

> Due to the nature of packages, not all packages have to be released as
convenience packages in the final release. During the voting process the
voting PMCs might decide to exclude certain packages from the release if
some critical problems have been found in some packages.

And the process of removing it is part of the described release process:

> In case you decided to remove some of the packages. remove them from dist
folder now:

> ls dist/*<provider>*
> rm dist/*<provider>*

The issue of excluding certain packages have been discussed in this thread
in the mailing list :
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/rc620a8a503cc7b14850c0a2a1fca1f6051d08a7e3e6d2cbdeb691dda%40%3Cdev.airflow.apache.org%3E
- where we had a -1 veto from a PMC member on the whole batch of providers
where we found a cncf.kubrenetes and google providers had critical
problems.

We discussed it then and the two PMC members proposed a solution that was
not objected to by anyone in the VOTE thread - to remove the packages from
the batch.

I continued this in the continuation of the voting thread
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r752c5d5171de4ff626663d30e1d50c4b0d2994f66bf8918d816dabd8%40%3Cdev.airflow.apache.org%3E
with the following message which specifically pointed out to my proposal
where I specifically linked to the message above and asked for comments.

> As discussed before: -1 on a single provider does not invalidate the whole
vote (from
https://github.com/apache/airflow/tree/master/dev#vote-and-verify-the-backport-providers-release-candidate
):

> "Due to the nature of backport packages, not all packages have to be
released as convenience packages in the final release. During the voting
process the voting PMCs might decide to exclude certain packages from the
release if some critical problems have been found in some packages."

> We will merge the fix and most likely release a new google package right
after this one. Looking at the super-localized problem here my current
decision will be to release 2020.10.29 'google package" - together with
other packages and release 2020.11.01 (or smth) - but only the google one -
right after we merge the fix.

> Any comments to that?
