Hi Vihang, I don't think we need to serialize these releases at this time. The metastore is still being released as part of hive as well at this time. Maybe as part of the Hive 3.1 release process, ie after branching, during stabilization/voting you can verify that metastore in standalone mode is working in that branch ? (Earlier we start the verification, the better). We could use still use the same version tag and have the releases go in parallel, or a different sequence. Not having to serialize these releases would help with smaller release cycles.
