Hi Jonathan, Thank you for your input. There are 15,300 matches for querying Google: dockerfile-maven-plugin site:github.com and 377 matches for query apache hosted projects. I see that many projects opt in to use profile to work around building docker images all the time while others stay true to have the process inline. People have the rights to opt out using effective root user to compile by giving -DskipDocker flag. Hence, the effective root user requirement is not permanent.
People did not change their view point after the discussions of this email thread. I understand the reason that no one likes disruptive changes. I don’t expect calling vote on this issue will change the outcome. There are sufficient facts presented from both point of views in this email thread. I feel enough push back from the community on mandatory inline process and flexible to make the change to a profile-based process. I don’t need to feel guilty for implementing a half-baked release process and respect the community decision. Let’s digest the presented facts for rest of the day. I am ok for not calling the vote unless others think a voting procedure is required.

If you participate in this discussion thread, please recognize that a considerable effort has been made by contributors on this JIRA. On the other hand, contributors to this JIRA need to listen carefully to the comments in this discussion thread since they represent the thoughts and voices of the open source community that will a) benefit from and b) bear the burden of this feature. Failing to listen to these voices is failing to deliver a feature in its best form. My thoughts- As shown from my comments on YARN-7129, I have particular concerns that resonate other posters on this thread. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-7129?focusedCommentId=16790842&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-16790842 - Docker images don't evolve at the same rate as Hadoop (tends to favor a separate release cycle, perhaps project) - Docker images could have many flavors and favoring one flavor (say ubuntu, or windows) over another takes away from Apache Hadoop's platform neutral stance (providing a single "one image fits all" stance is optimistic). - Introduces release processes that could limit the community's ability to produce releases at a regular rate. (Effective root user permissions needed to create image limiting who can release, extra Docker image only releases) - In addition, I worry this send a complicated message to our consumers and will stagnate release adoption. > I will make adjustment accordingly unless 7 more people comes out and say > otherwise. I'm sorry if this is a bit of humor which is lost on me. However, Apache Hadoop has a set of bylaws that dictate the community's process on decision making. https://hadoop.apache.org/bylaws.html Best Regards, jeagles
