Thanks for the efforts Andrew! And I want to volunteer for the branch-1 RM as well, that says at least there're 2 RMs maintaining branch-1 release, if you don't have free cycles, I'm up. But I don't have any experiences in doing release, so I'm wondering if you could guide me that on next branch-1 release, allowing me to follow your steps.

A community focus on stable version 2.x and forward looking work on master branch is absolutely where contributors and committers should be spending their time. That said, until at least the next calendar year, at my employer, our production will continue to be based on branch-1. I plan to continue occasional RM duties to release from branch-1 on at least a quarterly cadence until then. Next up is 1.7.0, assuming there are changes committed that necessitate a minor increment. I believe there will be changes that should increment the minor version. A colleague is thinking about backporting HBASE-18095 to branch-1. HBASE-18095 is an optional non-default configuration that removes client side direct dependencies on ZooKeeper for non-administrative activity. It simplifies client side connection and timeout management, for ensuring things like fail fast behavior. As soon as it goes in, I would like to make this new option available in a release. This may happen in the next few weeks. If you happen to have pending work intended for commit to branch-1, and would like to make this train, you have some time, but should endeavor to get it committed sooner rather than later. If you need help getting changes in please contact me at apurt...@apache.org. I do follow JIRA still, but not with the same intensity as in past years, so may miss it if you at-mention me. -- Best regards, Andrew Words like orphans lost among the crosstalk, meaning torn from truth's decrepit hands - A23, Crosstalk
