Nigel Jones created ATLAS-1855: ---------------------------------- Summary: Atlas version/release & dependency management/policy Key: ATLAS-1855 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-1855 Project: Atlas Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Nigel Jones
For the Atlas project we need a clear approach to how we manage dependencies, and indeed the dependencies of other projects & users upon us. For example this should include * A clear approach to how we support backwards (and possibly) forwards compatability of both our published external interfaces, as well as persistent data formats * Agreeing approach to deprecation for when that might be required * Regularly reviewing the version of dependent components, and having a strategy as to when/how to update (this includes both toleration of releases, and exploitation) I initially raised ATLAS-1849 to specifically capture the Java 8 dependency question which we could use specifically for java, but there are general principles we should discuss/agree/document too as part of making Atlas an enterprise ready component -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
