Hi all, Greeting from ApacheCon North America 2022 from New Orleans! We had a great conference with a dedicated Pulsar track. Thanks to all presenters and everyone who attended. The talks weren't recorded, but the slides will be later on posted on the conference website [1].
At ApacheCon there were several presentations about "the Apache way" and what that means in practice. Based on that, we all know that no person is nominated as the CTO of Apache Pulsar who decides on Pulsar 3.0 and when that happens. It's us, the community, that serve that role together. We come together as individuals with the Apache hat on. Everyone is equal in the community, regardless of whether they are contributors, committers or PMC members. We welcome everyone to participate. The small detail about voting shouldn't stop anyone from participating in any aspects of the planning for the roadmap. I'll like to get the discussions going for Pulsar 3.0. We don't need a separate decision to start planning that. Please correct me if I'm wrong or if you have a different opinion. There are a few previous discussion threads that are related to Pulsar 3.0 planning. If you are interested in getting involved with Apache Pulsar 3.0 planning, I think that it makes sense for you to read these threads carefully and reply to them. Please also suggest what you think makes sense. PIP-45 related: https://lists.apache.org/thread/tvco1orf0hsyt59pjtfbwoq0vf6hfrcj Pulsar Load balancer / namespace bundle related: https://lists.apache.org/thread/roohoc9h2gthvmd7t81do4hfjs2gphpk renaming topics: https://lists.apache.org/thread/vrr75rrh4trqlp14objh3snlfvmzdrp2 backpressure: https://lists.apache.org/thread/v7xy57qfzbhopoqbm75s6ng8xlhbr2q6 Long list of Metadata inconsistency issues by Zac Bentley: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/issues/12555 That would be a good starting point to understanding the data inconsistency issues related to current PIP-45 design. Perhaps those could be addressed already before Pulsar 3.0? I'm looking forward to everyone's participation in the Apache Pulsar 3.0 planning discussions.
