[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-16747) [CI][Release][Python] Drop support for manylinux 2010

["Antoine Pitrou (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16747?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17545810#comment-17545810 ] 

Antoine Pitrou commented on ARROW-16747:
----------------------------------------

The way I read the "Policy readiness for python 3.7" graph in https://mayeut.github.io/manylinux-timeline/ is that 92.7% of Python 3.7 users are manylinux2014-ready (on May 31st 2022), meaning that 7.3% are not. But you're right it's just a matter of installing pip, since basically 99.9% of the user base is glibc-compatible.

> There seemed to be consensus on this mailing list thread to drop support for Manylinux 2010.
> [https://lists.apache.org/thread/dfsvcsmrmktgnqz9fyc9ym33zldwklyx]
> This ticket is to track it. The following was the main rationale to do it copied from the mail:
> CentoOS 6, on which the manylinux2010 image is based, has been EOL for over
> two years [1].
> There is now also an official announcement by pypa that
> manylinux2010 support will be dropped sometime in 2022 [2] that has not
> received any feedback on either Github or Discourse. Since the announcement
> the percentage of affected users has dropped from ~7% to ~4% of Python 3.7
> users [3]. ~52% of pyarrow users are on 3.7 so only ~2% of pyarrow users
> [4] would potentially be affected by an issue fixed by updating pip [5].
> We have already had several CI issues with the manylinux2010 builds that
> required workarounds. There are now also issues with verification as there
> are no aarch64 wheels for manylinux2010 [6].
