Hi, folks,
I went through current components Bigtop is supporting, and I noticed that
these upstream projects haven't been released for quite a while:
Apache Tajo:
last release: release-0.11.3-rc0, May 11, 2016
Apache Apex:
last release: v3.7.0, Apr 27, 2018
Apache Giraph:
last release: rel/1.2.0-RC1, Oct 13 2016
Apache Hama:
last release: 0.7.1-RC2, Mar 12, 2016
Apache Sqoop:
last release: release-1.4.7-rc0, Dec 6, 2017; release-1.99.7-rc1, Jul
20, 2016
And some of them seem to be in slow development:
Apache Tajo:
last commit: Jul 13, 2018
Apache Apex:
last commit: Jun 20, 2018
Apache Hama:
last commit: Jul 30, 2018
So I'm wondering whether we should continue support for these components
(or part of them) in next/future releases.
I understand that similar topics were discussed before. But, you know, this
is an quickly evolving world, maybe it worth another revisit now? ;)
Regards,
Jun
