             Summary: Atlas version/release & dependency management/policy
                 Key: ATLAS-1855
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-1855
             Project: Atlas
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Nigel Jones


For the Atlas project we need a clear approach to how we manage dependencies, and indeed the dependencies of other projects & users upon us.

For example this should include
 * A clear approach to how we support backwards (and possibly) forwards compatability of both our published external interfaces, as well as persistent data formats
 * Agreeing approach to deprecation for when that might be required
 * Regularly reviewing the version of dependent components, and having a strategy as to when/how to update (this includes both toleration of releases, and exploitation)

I initially raised ATLAS-1849 to specifically capture the Java 8 dependency question which we could use specifically for java, but there are general principles we should discuss/agree/document too as part of making Atlas an enterprise ready component
