Hey Everyone, It's been a while since we released Impala 4.5.0.
Since then lots of great improvements and features accumulated on the master branch. It would be nice if we could release them in a new major version: Impala 5. First, let's collect all the required items for the release, especially the breaking changes. Please, if you want any of your tickets to be included in Impala 5, set the "Target Version" to "Impala 5.0.0" and "Priority" to "Blocker" or "Critical". Currently we have these items: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20IMPALA%20AND%20status%20in%20(Open%2C%20%22In%20Progress%22%2C%20Reopened)%20AND%20priority%20in%20(Blocker%2C%20Critical)%20AND%20%22Target%20Version%22%20%3D%20%22Impala%205.0.0%22%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20ASC Please also let us know if you volunteer to be the release manager. Cheers, Zoltan
