[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-8621) [Release][Go] Add Module support by creating tags

["Matthew Topol (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-8621?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17434905#comment-17434905 ] 

Matthew Topol commented on ARROW-8621:
--------------------------------------

So, it turns out that there's one more piece that needs to happen with the module tags. The go.mod and imports needs to updated to a corresponding major version sadly. Currently I get an error when i try to do `go get -u github.com/apache/arrow/go/arrow@v6.0.0` So i'll update the scripts accordingly. We'll probably need to either shift the go/arrow/v6.0.0 tags, or we'll need to release a version v6.0.1 after I make the update. 

[~kou] There exists a utility which can automate performing the update of the imports and go.mod files, but it requires having go installed to run. Is it okay to utilize that in the release scripts? Is there somewhere I should update to install Go or otherwise for the post-release tasks?

> Arrow has a go.mod, but the go modules system expects a certain git tag for Go modules to work.
> Based on [https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#faqs--multi-module-repositories] I believe the tag would be

> Currently:
> {code}
> $ go get github.com/apache/arrow/go/arrow@v0.17.0
