Hey everyone,
I currently maintain the phoenix-hbase-all-in-one docker image [1] for
running Avatica Go integration tests against Phoenix. The image itself
is pretty old and it's been a long while since I updated it.
Recently, Docker has announced that free team organizations will be
deleted in a month, which means that the image will no longer be
available, as it is currently hosted in a free team organization that I
control.
As a temporary work around, I can move the image to my own/personal
docker hub account, but I would like to look for a more permanent
solution, as it's also possible docker might delete or start charging
for personal accounts in the future.
I have sent an email to dev@phoenix [2] to see if they would like to
maintain the image. The plus side of this is that if they implement a
GitHub Actions workflow, they should be able to have docker images of
Phoenix and HBase published automatically with each release. The
downside is that when I raised the issue a few years ago, there didn't
seem to be much interest.
I would like to gauge community interest in terms of using Avatica Go
and Phoenix as the library contains code specifically for handling and
testing against Phoenix [3] [4]. Is this integration still being used by
Phoenix users? Should we remove Phoenix support to avoid this issue
altogether?
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Francis
