Hi Stefan (hello GT developers!), I'm contacting you about the GeoTools SAP HANA data store, because you're the developer that did (from the commits I see at least) most of the work on it.
In GeoTools we are discussing dropping down to unsupported any data store that: - Requires online testing - Does not have online tests for it running in Github actions The rationale is simple: we keep on making changes to GeoTools and we have no idea if those stores are bit-rotting because of them. If a change breaks a stores, we want to know right away. Currently, most JDBC stores have a Github action workflow testing them: https://github.com/geotools/geotools/tree/main/.github/workflows The two that do not are Teradata and HANA. Teradata is going to be immediately pushed down to unsupported because it has not received new commits in a long while, and people that maintained it are gone: it looks dead for all intents and purposes. HANA seems to be more active and we have someone to contact instead (hence this mail). You don't need to add a Github workflow right now, we decided to re-evaluate the HANA position is six months so ... plenty of time, no rush. If in September 2022 we'll find the module has no builds running its tests, then we'll demote the module to unsupported status. Hope you'll understand. Cheers Andrea
