Valentin Olteanu commented on OAK-6941:
---------------------------------------
Probably the simplest solution is through documentation: a page containing the
sparse matrix of known compatible versions.
Another format would be a table with the most recent known compatible version.
> Compatibility matrix for oak-run compact

> Key: OAK-6941
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-6941
> Project: Jackrabbit Oak
> Issue Type: Documentation
> Components: run, segment-tar
> Reporter: Valentin Olteanu
>
> h4. Problem statement
> For compacting the segmentstore using {{oak-run}}, the safest option is to
> use the same version of {{oak-run}} as the Oak version used to generate the
> repository. Yet, sometimes, a newer {{oak-run}} version is recommended to
> benefit of bug fixes and improvements, but not every combination of source
> repo and oak-run is safe to use and the user needs a way to check the
> compatibility. Thus, the users need a tool that guides the decision of which
> version to use.
> h4. Requirements
> * Easy to decide what {{oak-run}} version should be used for a certain Oak
> version
> * Up to date with the latest releases
> * Machine readable for scripting
> * Include details on the benefits of using a certain version (release notes)
> * Blacklist of versions that should not be used (with alternatives)
> h4. Solution
> TBD
