Hi Team, With Zoltan Haindrich, we have been brainstorming about the next steps after the 4.0.0-alpha-1 release.
We come up with the following plan: - Define a desired scope for the 4.0.0 release - Release minimally quarterly - create alpha release(s) until the scope is reached - If the scope is reached - create a beta release - For fixes - create a beta release - If we are satisfied with the quality of the release then we can release the Hive 4.0.0 - Keep up with the quarterly release cadence Until now we collected the following items which could be part of the scope: - Java 11 upgrade (minimally) - Hadoop 3.3 (needed to the Java 11 upgrade) - Full Iceberg integration (Read, Write, Delete, Update, Merge) - Clean up the HMS API interface (deprecate old methods which are already released, remove unreleased methods which have not been released yet, use/create methods with Request objects as parameters instead of Context objects) We might want to collect information about the usage of specific modules, and might deprecate some based on the feedback (remove them from the release or at least mark them deprecated), so we can reduce the project complexity based on the info. Some features which pooped up: - HCatalog - WebHCat - Pig integration - ?? We would be interested on any feedback for this plan / scope / deprecation. Feel free to suggest any additions or removals from these lists, or even propose an entirely different plan. Also if you would like to take over specific tasks, feel free to grab it, and start working on it or start discussing it. Thanks, Peter
