[DISCUSS] Any committers willing to do maintenance releases over the holidays?

[Sean Busbey <bu...@apache.org>]

Hi folks!

I'm in the process of getting us a 1.2.7-RC, hopefully soon[1]. This
release is badly behind schedule. I'd very much like to get us back on
a regular cadence for our stable release line, with a goal of once a
month. Unfortunately, I'm very unlikely to have time to do release
managing after the 1.2.7 release until spring (luckily it's for
fortunate-to-me reasons).

Despite the delay in schedule on this release, generally doing a
maintenance release is relatively low effort. These kinds of
"substitute RM" situations are a great chance to get familiar with the
process while having a well-defined end point. If there's anyone who'd
like to give it a try by handling things while I'm gone, both I and
I'm sure the project community would be grateful.

To take on this particular task, one must be a committer already (due
to ASF policy). It's a great way to "act like a PMC" for those
committers who'd like to make a long term investment in HBase.

Anyone interested?

Can't (realistically) commit to doing one on my own, but I'll be around 
to help the process along. Appy/others, feel free to ask directly or on 
list and I'll try to help out!

:-)
So if 1.2.7 gets out by say around Nov end, should I give around a month
for decent amount of changes to pile up for 1.2.8? So maybe start around
Christmas. Does that sound right?

I really hate autocorrect. I followed up with Appy. For whatever reason my
phone thinks he's a huge multinational company.

Re: [DISCUSS] Any committers willing to do maintenance releases over the holidays?

I followed up with Apple and I think he's positioned to get things done.
I'll leave the timing up to him.

That said, I am already on progress on 1.2.7. currently RCs for that
release are blocked on getting nightly tests that pass again.

Re: [DISCUSS] Any committers willing to do maintenance releases over the holidays?

[Nick Dimiduk <nd...@apache.org>]

Sean,

Do you have a target date you'd like to see the community aiming for on
this one?

If you don't mind, I would propose the Release Wrangler get started in JIRA
pruning and test suite kicking over the next couple weeks, and we can
target the first or second week of Dec. There's been quite a few commits
since the last release, so there may be some surprises lurking for our
volunteers to sort out. A good place to start is the compatibility report.

Who will carry this banner? Apekshit, Jan: shall we draw straws? One of you
have a bit of extra free time over the next 4 weeks?

Thanks,
Nick

I also like to volunteer, but I don’t think that I can do it on my own.

As 1.1 is rounding down, I will be able to apply that time to helping out
on another release line, if that's useful to the community.
