> Key: IMPALA-14147
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-14147
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Toolchain
> Affects Versions: Impala 5.0.0
> Reporter: Laszlo Gaal
> Assignee: Joe McDonnell
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: Impala 5.0.0
>
>
> These operating system versions have all reached their respective
> end-of-support dates as far as general support is concerned. All of them have
> newer versions (some of them more than one) that are also supported by
> Impala, so it is reasonable to expect that Impala users and contributors have
> either upgraded their systems to a supported OS version, or they will do this
> shortly.
> In the absence of generally available vendor support, it would also be hard
> for Impala to maintain safe operations in case a vulnerability came along
> that would not get fixed by the OS vendor claiming end of support for a
> particular affected version.
> Based on the above reasoning I propose to remove support for these operating
> system versions from the native-toolchain project, therefore from new binary
> builds of the toolchain as well. Older toolchain builds will remain
> accessible, and usable for older branches and versions of Impala; the
> deprecation and removal will only impact the {{master}} branch, i.e. the
> upcoming Impala 5.0.0 version.
