[VOTE] Apache Kafka Release 0.8.0 - Candidate 5

This is the fifth candidate for release of Apache Kafka 0.8.0.   This
release candidate is now built from JDK 6 as RC4 was built with JDK 7.

Release Notes for the 0.8.0 release
http://people.apache.org/~joestein/kafka-0.8.0-candidate5/RELEASE_NOTES.html

*** Please download, test and vote by Monday December, 2nd, 12pm PDT

Kafka's KEYS file containing PGP keys we use to sign the release:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/kafka/KEYS in addition to the md5 and sha1
checksum

* Release artifacts to be voted upon (source and binary):
http://people.apache.org/~joestein/kafka-0.8.0-candidate5/

* Maven artifacts to be voted upon prior to release:
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/

(i.e. in sbt land this can be added to the build.sbt to use Kafka
resolvers += "Apache Staging" at "
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/"
libraryDependencies += "org.apache.kafka" % "kafka_2.10" % "0.8.0"
)

* The tag to be voted upon (off the 0.8 branch) is the 0.8.0 tag

Talking about binary release, do we really need to include bin/run-rat.sh?
As far as I understand it is only used to bring licenses to the scene and
quite redundant for already baked release.

Next, I not quite sure, but probably it makes sense to drop
libs/scala-compiler.jar -- kafka do not perform compilations during runtime
and this step will trim some fat from the resulting release (from 17 mb
down to 9.5 mb*).

I managed to satisfy maven with only two exclusions, but yes, it would be
good to see them in original pom.

* by the way using the best possible compression method  (-9 instead of
default -6) + drop of compiler lib gave me the very same result -- 9.5 Mb

Posted by Neha Narkhede <ne...@gmail.com>.
Thanks for creating
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Process. That was
what I was looking for. It will be worth updating it right after the 0.8
release and keep it updated as we change the guidelines. Thanks again!

Re: [VOTE] Apache Kafka Release 0.8.0 - Candidate 5

Posted by Jun Rao <ju...@gmail.com>.
There is a difference btw lazy consensus and lazy majority. See
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Bylaws#Bylaws-Approvalsfor
the precise definition.

Thanks,

Jun

Re: [VOTE] Apache Kafka Release 0.8.0 - Candidate 5

Not to get too side tracked, but I think lazy consensus is supposed to 
mean "silence gives assent" 
http://www.apache.org/foundation/voting.html#LazyConsensus

After the release, we should clean up the language of the bylaws to 
match the language here http://www.apache.org/foundation/glossary.html

Re: [VOTE] Apache Kafka Release 0.8.0 - Candidate 5

Posted by Jun Rao <ju...@gmail.com>.
The release voting is based on lazy majority (
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Bylaws#Bylaws-Voting). So
a -1 doesn't kill the release. The question is whether those issues are
really show stoppers.

Thanks,

Jun

+1 If we can get most of this release preparation stuff automated, then 
we can iterate on it in a release branch before tagging and voting.

Agreed, not a show stopper.

The LICENSE file in both the src and binary downloads includes "SBT 
LICENSE" at the end. I could be wrong, but I think the src download 
should include the SBT licnese and the binary download should include 
the Scala license. Since we have released in the past without proper 
licensing, it's probably not a huge deal to do it again (but we should 
fix it).

No I don't think it's a show stopper. But to Neha's point, a painless 
Maven/Ivy/SBT/Gradle integration is important since this is how most 
users interface with Kafka. That said, ZooKeeper is what's pulling in 
these troublesome deps and it doesn't stop people from using ZooKeeper. 
I can live with this.

No clue... maybe? I run into these deps all the time when dealing with 
ZooKeeper.

Does one -1 kill the vote? I'm mainly trying to be the squeaky wheel 
here ;) - I'd rather not hold up the release and just fix these issues 
for 0.8.1.

Re: [VOTE] Apache Kafka Release 0.8.0 - Candidate 5

Posted by Joe Stein <jo...@stealth.ly>.
David,

I went through the thread and think I capture everything you brought up in
JIRA, can you go through and if I missed anything create the JIRA please?

I put the label for each of the JIRA created as "release" .

Thanks!

Re: [VOTE] Apache Kafka Release 0.8.0 - Candidate 5

Posted by David Arthur <mu...@gmail.com>.
Joe, another thing I noticed in the staging repo:

The POM for 2.8.2, 2.9.1, 2.9.2, and 2.10 include scala-compiler and 
some other stuff that is not included in 2.8.0

2.8.0 
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/kafka/kafka_2.8.0/0.8.0/kafka_2.8.0-0.8.0.pom
2.8.2 
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/org/apache/kafka/kafka_2.8.2/0.8.0/kafka_2.8.2-0.8.0.pom

Here's a diff of those two: 
https://gist.github.com/mumrah/7bd6bd8e2805210d5d9d/revisions

I think maybe the 2.8.0 POM is missing some stuff it needs (zkclient, 
snappy, yammer metrics). And there is a duplicate ZK entry for the POMs 
 >2.8.0

Re: [VOTE] Apache Kafka Release 0.8.0 - Candidate 5

Posted by Joe Stein <jo...@stealth.ly>.
Neha, as far as the release process is this what you had in mind
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Release+Process or
different content or more of something or such?

Per the POM, I was able to use the artifacts from the maven repository
without having to-do anything more than just specifying the artifacts with
sbt.

resolvers += "Apache Staging" at "
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/"

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
        ...,
"org.apache.kafka" % "kafka_2.10" % "0.8.0",
        ....
)

and on the pure maven side
<repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>ApacheStaging</id>
            <url>https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/staging/</url>
        </repository>
...
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
            <artifactId>kafka_2.9.2</artifactId>
            <version>0.8.0</version>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>log4j</groupId>
                    <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>

which very closely mirrors what David was talking about with ivy as well...
I didn't really think much of it just a matter of XML we can document
(there is actually no using maven documentation on the site at all we
should correct that in any case TBD post release) but if folks find it to
be a pain then we should definitely fix it for sure.  off the top of my
head I don't see how to-do that in the Build.scala but I really don't
expect it to be too difficult to figure out... the question is do we hold
it off for 0.8.1 since technically nothing is breaking (like the null
pointer exceptions we had for the bonked pom in beta1 that I shipped to
maven central).

Before canceling the vote can we at least get consensus to what we are
canceling and exactly what fixes should be in RC6 or ... agree to ship RC5
and hold whatever is left for 0.8.1

I am totally fine with working on RC6 (actually just cancelled my plans for
the evening because of a whole slew of client work that hit my plate) but I
want to make sure we have everything covered that everyone that is voting
expects to be in there.

David, a few items below don't make sense I sent another email on the
thread in regards to the LICENSE

Re: [VOTE] Apache Kafka Release 0.8.0 - Candidate 5

Posted by Neha Narkhede <ne...@gmail.com>.
I think we should maintain a wiki describing the release process in detail,
so we save the turnaround time on a release. We can have a VOTE thread to
agree on the release guidelines and follow it. Having  said that, it is
worth having the correct .pom file at the very least, since the release is
not very useful if people cannot consume it without pain.

Thanks,
Neha

Re: [VOTE] Apache Kafka Release 0.8.0 - Candidate 5

Posted by Joe Stein <jo...@stealth.ly>.
General future thought comment first: lets be careful please to raising
issues as show stoppers that have been there previously (especially if
greater than one version previous release back also has the problem) and
can get fixed in a subsequent release and is only now more pressing because
we know about them... seeing something should not necessarily always create
priority (sometimes sure, of course but not always that is not the best way
to manage changes).  The VOTE thread should be to artifacts and what we are
releasing as proper and correct per Apache guidelines... and to make sure
that the person doing the release doesn't do something incorrect ... like
using the wrong version of JDK to build =8^/.  If we are not happy with
release as ready to ship then lets not call a VOTE and save the prolonged
weeks that drag out with so many release candidates.  The community suffers
from this.

ok, now on to RC5 ...lets extend the vote until 12pm PT tomorrow ...
hopefully a few more hours for other folks to comment and discuss the
issues you raised with my $0.02852425 included below and follow-ups as they
become necessary... I am also out of pocket in a few hours until tomorrow
morning so if it passed I would not be able to publish and announce or if
failed look towards RC6 anyways =8^)

Ok, I can do a better job with 0.8.1 but I am not sure this is very
different than beta1 and not necessarily a show stopper for 0.8.0 requiring
another release candidate, is it?  I think updating the release docs and
rmdir .git after the rm -fr and rm .gitignore moving forward makes sense.

I fixed this already not only in the binary release
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1131 but also in the JAR files
that are published to Maven

I don't think this is a showstopper is it?  can't this wait for 0.8.1 and
not hold up the 0.8.0 release?

I didn't have this issue with java maven pom or scala sbt so maybe
something more ivy ant specific causing this?  folks use gradle too so I
expect some feedback at some point to that working or not perhaps in 0.8.1
or even 0.9 we can try to cover every way everyone uses and make sure they
are all good to go moving forward... perhaps even some vagrant, docker,
puppet and chef love too (which I can contribute if folks are interested)
=8^)

In any case can you create a JIRA and throw a patch up on it please,
thanks! IMHO this is for 0.8.1 though ... what are thoughts here...

it would break my heart to have lots of binding +1 votes and 2 non-binding
votes one +1 and one -1, I still haven't cast my vote yet was hoping
everyone would get their voices and everything in before calling the VOTE
closed or canceled.  I really don't mind preparing a release candidate 6
that is not the issue at all but I think we need to be thoughtful about
using the release candidates to fixe things that should be fixed and part
of the releases themselves where the release candidates are to make sure
that the preparation of the build is not wrong (like it was in RC4 where I
used JDK 7 by accident).

Re: [VOTE] Apache Kafka Release 0.8.0 - Candidate 5

Posted by David Arthur <mu...@gmail.com>.
Seems like most people are verifying the src, so I'll pick on the 
binaries and Maven stuff ;)

A few problems I see:

There are some vestigial Git files in the src download: an empty .git 
and .gitignore

In the source download, I see the SBT license in LICENSE which seems 
correct (since we distribute an SBT binary), but in the binary download 
I see the same license. Don't we need the Scala license 
(http://www.scala-lang.org/license.html) in the binary distribution?

I create a simple Ant+Ivy project to test resolving the artifacts 
published to Apache staging repo: https://github.com/mumrah/kafka-ivy. 
This will fetch Kafka libs from the Apache staging area and other things 
from Maven Central. It will fetch the jars into lib/ivy/{conf} and 
generate a report of the dependencies, conflicts, and licenses into 
ivy-report. Notice I had to add three exclusions to get things working. 
Maybe we should add these to our pom?

I think I'll have to -1 the release due to the missing Scala license in 
the binary dist. We should check the other licenses as well (see 
ivy-report from my little Ant project).
