Hi all, Due to Cloudera's maven repo changes, the latest released version 3.4.0 is not compilable now (need the patch of IMPALA-9815). I'm thinking about doing a minor release for 3.4.1.
Another motivation is that we need a branch to maintain the Sentry support which is removed in the 4.0 branch (IMPALA-9708). One bug we recently found is IMPALA-10326 (PrincipalPrivilegeTree doesn't handle empty string and wildcards correctly). We have a fix in downstream but can't put it upstream due to missing the Sentry support. IMPALA-10130 is another Sentry issue that we may need to fix. We can also apply some critical fixes in this version. Here are bugs that affect 3.4.0 and are fixed in 4.0: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-9725?jql=project%20%3D%20IMPALA%20AND%20issuetype%20%3D%20Bug%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Resolved%20AND%20affectedVersion%20%3D%20%22Impala%203.4.0%22%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20%22Impala%204.0%22%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC%2C%20updated%20DESC Any objections or suggestions? Thanks, Quanlong
