Hi All, I was looking in the Hive Wiki regarding this topic, but I don't find anything about how often we do releases in Hive. So, I wanted to send this email to ask a few questions regarding releases:
- What is the release cadence in Hive? Is there a scheduled time to do major releases, like every 3 months? What about minor version releases? - Do we have some kind of quality check before doing a release? or is it just by voting that packages and jars are correct? - Is there a document that mentions what kind of changes must be added and not to minor and major versions? When can we break api, features, etc? when a change must be on Hive3 or on Hive2.2? Btw, I'd like to include a testing phase on every release to validate its quality before the final release. There is some work we're doing on PTest to allow that in ths jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14744 - Sergio
