Hi Dick,

Thanks for holding the release!

The investigation did in fact find the root cause of the delayed 
registerInterest. Darrel created 
GEODE-9067 that describes the 
issue and he already and has a fix for it ?. While this issue should be 
addressed, it has been in Geode since day 1 and it's not worthwhile to restart 
the release for it and redo all work. We have great fixes coming in this 
release that should go to our users quickly. We should however address 
GEODE-9067 it in all future releases (including 1.13.3).

I'm okay with waiting until we know what the situation is with this register 
interest issue before releasing or scrapping this RC. Making a decision before 
we fully understand the consequences seems unwise.

Sorry, everyone! We still haven't gotten to the bottom of the very slow 
registerInterest. More details should be coming in a ticket as we get closer to 
the root cause. Right now, we are seeing messages about delayed 
FetchBulkEntries and registerInterest taking over 5 minutes. That's resulting 
in the HARegionQueue filling up and eventually falling over.

I am not sure what's formally the best way forward with this vote. The best 
solution to me seems to put the release on hold till this issue is resolved. 
There is still a chance that this will turn out to be a case that has been in 
Geode for a while now. In that case we could ship this RC after all. If we find 
that we need to make changes to address this issue, we of course should have a 
new vote.

Do we need a vote to pause the release or can we just informally agree that 
waiting for this is the best course of action till someone voices concern about 
the downsides of this delay?

I am sorry, can we get another 24 hours to analyze the long registerInterest 
calls, please? Thank you!

 Can we please extend the vote for another 48 hours? We are investigating a 
potential issue in which registerInterest is taking over 5 minutes. It's still 
unclear what exactly is causing that, but some more time to investigate would 
be better than potentially shipping a bug like this.

Hello Geode Dev Community,

It's been 4 months since the Apache Geode 1.13.1 release and there are a total 
48 important fixes on support/1.13 that the community would benefit from. The 
recently released v1.12.1 has 33 

 fixes that are not released in 1.13. Based on this I propose release of an 
Apache Geode 1.13.2 based on the current support/1.13 branch. I'll volunteer to 
be the release manager for 1.13.2 and what follows is a release candidate for 
Apache Geode version 1.13.2.RC1.

Thanks to all the community members for their contributions to this release!

Please do a review and give your feedback, including the checks you performed.

Voting deadline:
3PM PST Tues, March 16, 2021

Please note that we are voting upon the source tag:
rel/v1.13.2.RC1
