> The current API compatibility check is comparing the current version of parquet-mr to the release 1.7.0. It is not correct because several changes made in the public API since then which is not verified. Also, many packages are excluded from the check which are part of the public API. The semver plugin is also out of date and not maintained any more. The following tasks are to be done:
> * Find a good tool to check API compatibility
> * Always compare to the previous minor release on master (e.g. 1.11.0 before releasing 1.12.0)
> * Exclude only packages/classes that are clear to not being used by our clients
