Hi all, We are close to having a release ready, but there's a few things left on the checklist before we can cut the first Apache release. I think most things on this list are underway, but I'll put them here just for reference/visibility. Comments and thoughts are welcomed.
- Build stability after merging YARN and Feeds seems to have seriously declined. It's hard to get a build to go through to the end without going OOM at all now honestly, so this is a Problem. I think it may be related to Feeds, but even after disabling the tests (https://asterix-gerrit.ics.uci.edu/#/c/312/), I still see it. Therefore I am not precisely sure what is going on, but it only started to happen after we merged those two features. It's not exactly obvious to me where the memory leak is coming from. @Raman, it would be great to get your advice/thoughts on this. - Metadata name changes and Metadata caching consistency fixes are underway by Ildar. - The repackaging and license checker patches still need to be merged in, but this should happen after the above two features are merged. They are otherwise ready for review though. - Now that Feeds is merged, the Apache website should be changed to the new version that has been in draft form for a few weeks now. Before it may have been a little premature, but now it should be accurate. The documentation site should also be reverted to its prior state, before it was quickly patched to serve as an interim website. If there's anything else I am missing that should be in this list, please feel free to add it into this thread. Thanks, -Ian
