GitHub user CTTY created a discussion: Improving Hudi’s Release Cadence
Dear Hudi community, I would like to start a discussion on whether we can make Hudi’s release process faster and more predictable. I have noticed that recent release roadmaps often include many exciting new features. I am fully supportive of these improvements, but as Hudi continues to grow, bundling more features into each release may increase stabilization time and make releases progressively slower. One area where release speed is especially important is support for new Spark versions. This is often time-sensitive for users who are upgrading their platforms, and delays can prevent them from adopting newer Spark versions or newer Hudi functionality. Could we consider being more biased toward releasing Spark compatibility updates quickly, rather than waiting for every planned feature to be completed? More frequent and smaller releases could also allow completed features and fixes to reach users sooner. The goal would not be to reduce investment in new features, but to avoid coupling every feature to the same release timeline and to make releases easier to stabilize and manage as the project grows. Would love to hear more perspectives! GitHub link: https://github.com/apache/hudi/discussions/19453 ---- This is an automatically sent email for [email protected].
