Hi everyone, Let me try to clarify the request if there is any confusion. The request is to move up the Apache HAWQ version to make room for HDB versioning to align with it, which is why the proposal was made in this ML. Is it reasonable to make such a request ? Well, the intention as stated earlier is purely to help the user community; the overlap between HDB and HAWQ user community is undeniable, so the request isn't meant to benefit just one side. With this change, as Greg mentioned the benefits earlier, the Pivotal team is hoping to leveraging Apache HAWQ releases as the basis of it's commercial releases going forward, which would be a win-win for the end users and the Apache HAWQ community.
