Re: Volunteering for Avro 1.11.4 and 1.12.0 releases

[Jean-Baptiste Onofré]

Hi folks,

A quick update about 1.11.4 and 1.12.0 releases.

I'm working on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3985 that
it's important to include in the next releases.
I also reviewed Fokko's changes.

I would love to submit the releases to vote by the end of the week ,if
it's ok for you all.

Thanks !
Regards
JB

Thanks JB, I'll take at look at the PR.

Can we include #2732  as well?

Kind regards,
Fokko

Re: Volunteering for Avro 1.11.4 and 1.12.0 releases

[Jean-Baptiste Onofré]

Hi folks,

I updated the PR (https://github.com/apache/avro/pull/2855) to fully
build with Java 11 min.

Do we have a consensus to bump directly to Java 17 ? If so, I will
update the PR accordingly, using Java 17 by default and adding Java 22
in the test scope.

Regards
JB

Hi Fokko

I'm happy to bump directly to Java 17 if everyone is OK with that.
I can update the Jira ticket and the PR accordingly.

[Driesprong, Fokko]

Hey JB,

Thanks for taking the lead here. Let me know if there is anything I can
help with.

With regards to the Java version bump, I'm open to going to JDK17 directly.
This is also the case for Spark 4 as well:
https://spark.apache.org/docs/3.5.1/building-spark.html#apache-maven

Kind regards,

Re: Volunteering for Avro 1.11.4 and 1.12.0 releases

Hi Martin,

(finally I received the email from the list cleanly, w00t ;))

Thanks for pointing the previous discussion.

I think 1.12.0 is OK as it's mostly the Java part that gonna be
impacted. I think 2.0.0 would make more sense for a spec change
impacting all languages.

So, I'm proposing:
- Avro 1.12.0 with Java 11 by default in Java
- Avro 1.11.4 still on Java 8.
It makes sense to maintain both to give users the time to update (and
encourage them to do so :)).

Thoughts ?

Regards
JB

Re: Volunteering for Avro 1.11.4 and 1.12.0 releases

Hi,

There were few discussions about this some months ago, e.g.
https://lists.apache.org/thread/bd39zhk655pgzfctq763vp3z4xrjpx58
I think everyone agreed that 1.12.0 could be bumped to Java 11+!
https://lists.apache.org/thread/b8d7cjywz6mpj81bhbx5tz6flbvwzsdk - here
Niels even suggested to bump the version to 2.0.0, but since Avro is
multi-language repo I don't think changing the version to 2.x for all langs
makes sense.
Users of Java 8 will have to stay with 1.11.x. There was another discussion
at dev@ about maintaining both branches for some time.

Martin

There are many projects still stuck on JDK-8. I know they shouldn't be, but
they are. I can see an argument for moving to JDK-11 for 1.12.0 but not for
1.11.4.

Volunteering for Avro 1.11.4 and 1.12.0 releases

[Jean-Baptiste Onofré]

Hi folks,

NB: I'm sending this email with my regular email address ;)

I'm doing a full pass to prepare Avro 1.11.4 and 1.12.0 releases.

I have a question for you: on the main branch (e.g. 1.12.0), I propose
to update the Java source/release target version to 11 (instead of
1.8). I'm testing it right now, and so far so good.

I'm also preparing some updates and cleanup. I will open the PRs today.

Thanks !
Regards
JB
