Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Driesprong, Fokko]

I'll get the announce out! Thanks all.

Cheers, Fokko

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Driesprong, Fokko]

My mistake. I've removed the 1.8.2 version from the mirror. In the
meantime, I'm still waiting for it to appear on Maven Repository:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.avro/avro

It would expect to have it been indexed already. Anyone any idea?

Cheers, Fokko Driesprong

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Ismaël Mejía]

Seems the jars are now everywhere. Are we going to do an Announcement
(specially to announcement mailing list)?
Also the download link points still to both 1.8.2 and 1.9.0 is this
wished or we just forgot to remove 1.8.2 ?

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Driesprong, Fokko]

Can you elaborate Raman? How did you confirm that it isn't the latest
version?

Thanks for the heads-up Rumeshkrishnan, I'll check why 1.9.0 isn't showing
up in Maven Central.

Cheers, Fokko

That's just mvnrepository not showing the latest information. See:

[Raman Gupta]

Hmm, never mind my last -- my 1.9.0 jar was not updated. My local
Nexus repo seems to be serving me up an earlier RC.

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[rocketraman]

Fokko, did you have a chance to look into this? I just built a project with 
1.9.0, and am running into several issues that should have been fixed during 
the RCs: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2360, 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2386, and 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2383 which should all have been 
fixed.

Looking at the avro-compiler.jar, all the class files are dated Apr 26 9:32 
EDT, which is before some of those issues were even reported.

Regards,
Raman

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Sean Busbey]

The matter of upgrading downstream projects should get its own thread
on dev@avro rather than occurring on this VOTE.

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Ismaël Mejía]

Argh this looks like problematic if Spark somehow wants to align the
deps, hope it won't be mandatory.

I filled some more tickets, so the list of tickets so far:

BEAM-7328 Update Avro to version 1.9.0 in Java SDK
HIVE-21737 Upgrade Avro to version 1.9.0
FLINK-12532 Upgrade Avro to version 1.9.0
PARQUET-1576 Upgrade to Avro 1.9.0
SPARK-27733 Upgrade to Avro 1.9.x

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Driesprong, Fokko]

Thanks Nandor,

Upgrading Hive 2.x (Hadoop 2) is going to be painful since this is still on
Java 1.7. It is still relying on Avro 1.7.7. This is an issue because this
is also blocking upgrading Parquet, this implies that Hive 2.x does not
support reading lz4 and zstd compression.

>From Hive 3.x the Java version is 1.8 and we could upgrade Avro. The
current version is 1.8.2, so that should be doable.

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Nandor Kollar]

If Spark is upgraded, then I'm afraid first Hive should be upgraded to
1.9.0. When I did a quick release verification, I remember I saw several
failures due to Hive using deprecated and removed Avro methods (related to
Jackson removal from public API).

Still waiting on some permissions to fix some other languages.

For the Apache Parquet one I ended up fixing more regression stuff than I
expected. Especially that the NullNode wasn't working anymore:
https://github.com/apache/parquet-mr/pull/638/files#diff-254da5a3fbfdb2d20acea16d54b9dc62L51

This now throws an exception. Don't know why I didn't saw this before.

I've started on updating Flink as well, but that one still needs a bit more
love. Replacing the Joda stuff with JSR310 requires some more attention. If
someone else feels picking this up, this is fine from my side as well.
I do would like to do the Incubating Druid one if no one objects.

Cheers, Fokko

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Ismaël Mejía]

Getting a new release of Avro feels amazing, thanks a lot Fokko for
all your wokr to get this out with the release.

An interesting next step is downstreaming. I saw Fokko created a
ticket for Parquet, is anyone working on the Spark one? It will be
really nice to get this into Spark 3. Anything I can do to help there
or that we can sync work?
I filled https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27733 for the moment.

I am tackling the upgrade on Beam (the other project I work mostly on too.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-7328

Any other project worth the sync/work?

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Driesprong, Fokko]

Hi Jacob,

This looks off, I'll dive into it. I think it got released for some reason.
While releasing it today, I also noticed that the artifact wasn't staged in
Nexus anymore. However, RC4 is the same as the release.

Cheers, Fokko

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Jacob Tolar]

Great news! We have been looking forward to the 1.9 release.

I see 1.9.0 published on Maven Central. It appears to have been published
5/8
(the same day as RC4 was announced but ~1week before vote passed).

Is this the release build (presumably the same as RC4) or an earlier RC?

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/avro/avro/1.9.0/

Would it be helpful to have maven include the git sha somewhere in
MANIFEST.MF?

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Driesprong, Fokko]

Thank you all,

I'm happy to announce, the vote for Avro 1.9.0 has passed.

Binding:
+1 Daniel Kulp
+1 Sean Busbey
+1 Fokko Driesprong

Non-binding:
+1 Lunjie Jin
+1 Michael A. Smith
+1 Ismaël Mejía
+1 Brian Lachniet

I would like to thank the community from participating in the release. Both
in providing patches for Apache Avro and giving the RC's a try.

Yesterday I did some additional testing against Apache Spark (similar to
Nandor :-) and Apache Flink and did not find any blocking issues. There are
some incompatibilities, but most of them are; revoking Jackson from the
public API and deprecating Joda.

I'll publish the artifacts to the different repositories soon. On this, I
consider myself a polyglot programmer, but my knowledge is limited on .Net,
Perl, and Javascript, so I might ask some help from the community here as
well.

Thanks all, and keep up the good work.

Cheers, Fokko Driesprong

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Nandor Kollar]

+1 (non-binding)

* verified signatures and checksums
* ran unit tests, passed
* did a quick sanity test against Spark master: upgraded Spark Avro
dependency to this release candidate, ran spark-avro tests, all passed (for
the record, two minor Maven changes are required due to removal of Hadoop 1
support and making org.tukaani.xz provided dependency - looks like Spark
tests against each codec). spark-hive tests failed, because deprecated
methods were removed in Avro (related to Jackson removal from public API,
and Hive uses them), but I think it is expected, upgrading to a major
release could have breaking changes.

I don't think it should be a blocker because it's shown up in prior RCs since 
2012 and AFAICT things are fine despite it, save a unit test.

* An upgrade guide will help a bunch of folks given the time since last release 
and this being a major version.

For example, someone asked about how incompatible things are. So I ran the Java 
API Compliance Checker on the java libraries, since it's (relatively) easy. 
After filtering out the "avro.shaded" package and excluding the hadoop1 
specific jars from 1.8.2:

The report is here:

http://people.apache.org/~busbey/avro/1.9.0-RC4/1.8.2_to_1.9.0RC4_compat_report.html

This is a major version, so I think breaking things is fine. But this report is 
still pretty long and so I'm guessing downstream could use some help. Maybe the 
current summary list covers all of the breakage listed; I didn't try to compare 
them.

Re: [VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Michael Heuer]

Is there a report of breaking changes compared to version 1.8.x?  We've been 
bit by binary incompatibility issues several times downstream of Spark by way 
of parquet-avro.

Thank you in advance,

[Ismaël Mejía]

+1  (non-binding)

Validated checksums and signatures
Installed locally via `mvn clean isntall` and run Java tests.

Little reminder for people in the PMC, so far we don't have enough
binding votes to get it out.

[VOTE] Release Apache Avro 1.9.0 RC4

[Driesprong, Fokko]

Hi everyone,

Since the last release of Apache Avro 1.8.2 on May 31, 2017. Two years
later,
I'm thrilled to propose the following RC to be released as official Apache
Avro 1.9.0 release.

The commit id is 3c76495e9524ef322726d03d7ee406be89e8fde0
* This corresponds to the tag: release-1.9.0-rc4
* https://github.com/apache/avro/releases/tag/release-1.9.0-rc4

The release tarball, signature, and checksums are here:
* https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/avro/avro-1.9.0-rc4/

You can find the KEYS file here:
* https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/avro/KEYS

Binary artifacts for Java are staged in Nexus here:
*
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/avro/avro/1.9.0/

This release includes 272 Jira issues:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/AVRO/versions/1294
* Deprecate Joda-Time in favor of Java8 JSR310 and setting it as default
* Remove support for Hadoop 1.x
* Move from Jackson 1.x to 2.9
* Add ZStandard Codec
* Lots of updates on the dependencies to fix CVE's
* Remove Jackson classes from public API
* Apache Avro is built by default with Java 8
* Apache Avro is compiled and tested with Java 11 to guarantee compatibility
* Apache Avro MapReduce is compiled and tested with Hadoop 3
* Apache Avro is now leaner, multiple dependencies were removed: guava,
paranamer, commons-codec, and commons-logging
* Introduce JMH Performance Testing Framework
* Add Snappy support for C++ DataFile
* and many, many more!

Since RC1, two commits have been added:
* https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2381
* https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2383

Since RC2: The SHA1/MD5 checksums have been replaced with SHA512

Since RC3:
* Regression failure, the customEncode methods are public again.
* The release tarball does not contain snapshot anymore

Please download, verify, and test. This vote will remain open for at least
72 hours. Given sufficient votes, I would like to close it on or about
midnight
on Saturday, 11th of May 2019.

[ ] +1 Release this as Apache Avro 1.9.0
[ ] +0
[ ] -1 Do not release this because...

Consider this a +1 (non-binding) from my side:
* Compiled the new version of Parquet against the Divolte collector and
Apache Parquet

Cheers, Fokko Driesprong
