[Sally Khudairi]

[this interview is available online at https://s.apache.org/InsideInfra-Greg3 ]

The close of the "Inside Infra" interview with ASF Infrastructure Administrator 
Greg Stein, who shares his experience with Sally Khudairi, ASF VP Marketing & 
Publicity. 

["Apache is growing: we're just seeing the demand explode and it's a hard 
problem for us to solve."]

PART THREE.

- We were talking about ensuring that the team is up to speed with everything 
required of them...

So there certainly are skill gaps; this is one of the things I want to help 
motivate the team with, where if somebody says, "Hey, I want to go and 
investigate Ansible as a potential Puppet replacement," I say, "Go forward." 

This would be similar to Google having their 20% projects. I'm sure you've 
heard of that.

- Oh, yeah.

It's almost the same where it's not 20%, maybe 5%, but it's the same as Google, 
no matter what they want to tell you, because everybody's got their job and you 
have to be really rigorous to carve out 20% of your time. And strictly 
speaking, it does actually make your Google manager a little upset if you carve 
out the entire 20%. But anyways, the concept is similar.

So for us it's like, "Well, go in and investigate Ansible, see if it'll work 
for us and put your notes into the Wiki." That's how we make forward progress, 
up our game, and learn new skills. If someone says, "I want to go and figure 
this out," the response is almost always, "Okay. You go do it." There's 
certainly an allowance for people to learn new skills. But most of the time we 
simply rely on, say, Gavin (ASF Infrastructure team member Gavin McDonald), 
knowing more about JIRA configuration than the other guys.

- That added component of sharing what you know, and adding it to the JIRA or 
to the Wiki actually is great because then everyone's learning. This is like 
the rising tide: everybody's learning about this, whether they're doing it 
perfectly or not. I think this is a very interesting process.

Yes, and that's also where Andrew (technical writer Andrew Wetmore) is helping 
us out. He’s organizing that information that we have learned, that we have 
documented, that we memorialized into the Wiki.

- Because our (ASF's) legacy is quite Medusa-like over all these years, it's 
interesting to see how everyone can get caught up and also contribute...you 
have to go back and deal with the legacy, but you also have to be able to move 
forward. To be able to bring others with you is brilliant. That's really cool.

The infrastructure has grown organically over 25 years from when Brian 
Behlendorf first said, "Hey, I have this server called hyperreal.org: you can 
run a CVS repository on it for the Web server."

- That computer was under his desk at the Wired offices way back when, wasn’t 
it...

Yes it was. And it's just grown organically over those 25 years. Then we had 
Minotaur and it did six different things ... now it only does half of one and 
we've moved the stuff out onto newer machines and newer processes and this and 
that. But the organic growth means that we've got some really hairy stuff. Our 
move to Puppet --first Puppet 3, and now to Puppet 6-- at each step we're 
improving it and making it less hairy and more manageable and something that 
somebody can come along, look at, pick up and run with it from there. That 
makes it a lot easier, so that we don't have to spend 100% of our time cross 
training.

- What are your thoughts on products, the hype cycle, where everyone's 
demanding Kubernetes, to use that as an example. Do you decide which products 
to provide support for, or is that up to Apache projects in the communities? 
You mentioned Ansible, just not too long ago, that was your internal decision 
to move. But I remember not long ago, GitHub entered into the landscape. How 
did that happen? How did you decide to make a move like that? That's a 
significant thing. Can you tell me a little bit about that?

It's a lot based on community input. So if we see a lot of people asking for a 
particular tool, we'll like, "Oh, hey, David, can you go and take a look at 
that and see if that's something…” Not David (ASF VP Infrastructure David 
Nalley), but Chris (Infrastructure team member Chris Lambertus) or somebody 
else. "Can you go take a look. Is that something that we can support? Because 
we're getting some queries about it."

And there's a little chicken and egg problem there that if the communities 
don't know to ask for the egg, we don't know whether to prep the chicken. It's 
like, “okay, wait, they don't even know to ask for a tool because we haven't 
said we will make this tool available, because we're not going to make the tool 
available until somebody asks”. But sometimes people file tickets like, "Can I 
get this set up?" and we'll go, "No."

Then six months later, somebody else will file a ticket: "Can I get this set 
up?" and we'll go," No." But after enough of those, we're like, "Maybe that's 
something that we

[ANNOUNCE] Apache Calcite Avatica Go 5.0.0 released

[Francis Chuang]

The Apache Calcite team is pleased to announce the release of Apache 
Calcite Avatica Go 5.0.0.


Avatica is a framework for building database drivers. Avatica
defines a wire API and serialization mechanism for clients to
communicate with a server as a proxy to a database. The reference
Avatica client and server are implemented in Java and communicate
over HTTP. Avatica is a sub-project of Apache Calcite.

The Avatica Go client is a Go database/sql driver that enables Go
programs to communicate with the Avatica server.

Apache Calcite Avatica Go 5.0.0 is a major release of the Avatica Go 
client. Due to this, consumers of the package will need to update their 
import paths to "github.com/apache/calcite-avatica-go/v5".


This release also features a breaking change for connection metadata 
(CALCITE-3248): Previously, it is possible to set the HTTP username and 
password using the username and password parameters in the query string 
of the DSN. These parameters were confusing and didn’t signal the intent 
and effect of the parameters in addition to clashing with the 
avaticaUser and avaticaPassword parameters. The username and password 
parameters have now been removed as CALCITE-3248 implements the 
Connector interface via the NewConnector() method, which allows the 
driver to be instantiated with a custom HTTP client. Subsequently, it is 
now possible to set up the driver with a custom HTTP client and decorate 
it with the WithDigestAuth(), WithBasicAuth(), WithKerberosAuth() and 
WithAdditionalHeaders() methods.


For this release, support for the `dep` dependency manager has been 
removed and the recommended way to install this package is to use Go 
modules.


This release includes updated dependencies, testing against more
targets as well as a batching support to improve performance when 
working with large amount of changes using prepared statements. More 
information is available in the release notes:


  https://calcite.apache.org/avatica/docs/go_history.html#v5-0-0

The release is available here:

  https://calcite.apache.org/avatica/downloads/avatica-go.html
