MADlib community, tl;dr
Proposing we do a 1.13 release in Nov before Thanksgiving, and a 2.0 after that around Jan. More The next release is currently numbered 2.0 as per current JIRAs, which includes interface changes https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MADLIB-1157 Because of the interface changes, the 2.0 release is not backward compatibility as per semantic versioning that Apache MADlib follows http://semver.org/ We have started a couple of wiki pages to discuss ideas for the new 2.0 interface: Ideas https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB/Interface+2.0+-+Ideas IO standardization https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB/Interface+2.0+-+IO+Standardization but it is not baked yet. So I am wondering if we ought to do a 1.13 in Nov before Thanksgiving to give us more time to collectively make a plan on the interface, which would go in 2.0 around Jan or so. Please let me know what you think, and also comment/add/subtract on what’s proposed for the interface changes. Frank
