Hi Dima, Regardless of the github release area, etc., the official release repository for Apache Metron are via the Apache mirrors at http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/metron/ soon to be moved to http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/metron/
Please go there, pick a mirror, and browse that repository, eg at http://mirrors.gigenet.com/apache/incubator/metron/ The numbered top-level subdirectories under these URIs represent released versions of Metron. By looking at those you can determine the currently available releases. For a given mirror, you can script the determination. The corresponding location for Release Candidates is https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/metron/ soon to be moved to https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/metron/ DO NOT DOWNLOAD LARGE OR FREQUENT AMOUNTS OF CONTENT FROM dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/ . It is not mirrored, and is only intended for developer use. Again, the numbering system is obvious. The 0.4.0-RC1 is here, and RC2 will be going up shortly. Once you’ve determined the version you want, you can deduce the github tag and clone from it, if that is more convenient than using the tarball from the Apache release repo.

When do you think it will be released? And in meantime the question still stands, is there a way to get current release id/branch for the script? Thank you. - Dima On 04/26/2017 10:56 PM, Otto Fowler wrote: No, Take a look at METRON-777 PR. What I want is an extension mechanism, where you can: 1. create a project from a metron maven archetype 2. produce an extension ( parser, enrichment, stellar lib, ?? ) 3. install that extension through the management UI and configure All without touching the metron code.

So what you suggesting is to have internal repo with all our changes alone and to merge it with Apache Metron whenever we need to get full build? - Dima On 04/26/2017 09:09 PM, Otto Fowler wrote: Thanks! Parsers, and Enrichments, we have a plan or idea about. When you say extends batch processing… can you say what tech/component/part of stack you extended? New topologies? New WriterBolts? etc? I would like as complete a picture as possible of the things for which anyone would say: “If I could write this outside the metron tree, i could not have to maintain a private company fork” On April 26, 2017 at 11:22:21, Dima Kovalyov (dima.koval...@sstech.us<mailto:dima.koval...@sstech.us>) wrote: Otto, Yes, we developed custom parsers and enrichments (in future we seek to open source them, but have no time to up them to the decent level currently). We also merged our custom tools that extends Metron batching processing and store data in HDFS and Hive to be used by tableau, zeppelin, etc. Is that answers your question? Let me know if you want to know more. - Dima On 04/26/2017 08:29 PM, Otto Fowler wrote: Can I ask Dima, as comfortable you are in describing, what areas do you make changes or additions to that require you to maintain a fork? Custom parsers? Enrichments? Other? I have done some work, and have more planned and lined up to try to eliminate the requirement to develop in the metron tree to extend the product, and would be interested in your cases.

What is the path we should take here in order to identify what release happened successfully? Latest release is 0.3.1 currently, but since you're preparing for 0.4.0 (which will take a while) following links already have 0.4.0: https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/blob/master/pom.xml https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/releases The only place I have found with 0.3.1 (current latest release) is: https://metron.apache.org/documentation/#releases But there is no way for a script to figure what commit or branch to pick up from github for merging. Can you please suggest? Thank you. - Dima
