Hi Reuven,
Yes, I remember that we agreed on a release per month. However, we didn't do it
before. I think the most important is not the period, it's more a stable pace. I
think it's more interesting for our community to have "always" a release every
two months, more than a tentative of a release every month that end later than
that. Of course, if we can do both, it's perfect ;)
For Beam 3.x, I wasn't talking about breaking change, but more about "marketing"
announcement. I think that, even if we don't break API, some features are
"strong enough" to be "qualified" in a major version.
I think that any major idea & feature (breaking or not the API) are valuables
for Beam 3.x (and it's a good sign for our community again ;)).
Thanks !
Regards
JB

Hi guys,
Even if there's no rush, I think it would be great for the community to have
a better view on our roadmap and where we are going in term of schedule.
I would like to discuss the following:
- a best effort to maintain a good release pace or at least provide a rough
schedule. For instance, in Apache Karaf, I have a release schedule
(http://karaf.apache.org/download.html#container-schedule
<http://karaf.apache.org/download.html#container-schedule>). I think a
release ~ every quarter would be great.
Originally we had stated that we wanted monthly releases of Beam. So far the
releases have been painful enough that monthly hasn't happened. I think we
should address these issues and go to monthly releases as originally stated.
- if I see new Beam 2.x releases for sure (according to the previous point),
it would be great to have discussion about Beam 3.x. I think that one of
interesting new feature that Beam 3.x can provide is around PCollection with
Schemas. It's something that we started to discuss with Reuven and Eugene.
In term of schedule,
I don't think schemas require Beam 3.0 - I think we can introduce them without
making breaking changes. However there are many other features that would be
very interesting for Beam 3.x, and we should start putting together a list of them.
I would love to see your thoughts & ideas about releases schedule and Beam
3.x.
Regards
JB
