Recommended Helix version for new project?
Hey all,
For a new project, what's the recommended version of Apache Helix to use?
I had originally been experimenting with 1.0.1, but between the recent
releases of 0.9.8 and 0.9.9 as well as some pending 1.0.1 issues (e.g.
https://github.com/apache/helix/issues/1387), I'm wonder if I should be on
the latest 0.9.x version instead. Thoughts?
Thanks!

That's a good question. Those new features will be included in 1.0.x next
release. We planned to have it early next quarter. Since there are a lot of
new features than 0.9.x branches, we would like to have the features well
tested.
BTW, 0.9.9 is still in the voting process, not officially released yet.
Best,
Junkai

One more follow-up on this...is there a 1.0.x updated version release
planned soon?
For example, I noticed that the cluster topology API (i.e. the
HelixAdmin.getClusterTopology() function and the
org.apache.helix.api.topology package in helix-core) exists in the master
branch and exists in the 0.9.9 tag, but does not exist in the 1.0.1 tag or
the release-1.0.1 branch. Is it reasonable to expect that functionality
and API to be ported forward soon? Or is that API going to be one of the
backward-incompatible changes?
I'm currently relying on the 1.0.1 binary release (e.g.
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/apache/helix/1.0.1/binaries/) and the 1.0.1
helix-core version on Maven central (
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.helix/helix-core/1.0.1) and
they don't seem to have that code included.
Thanks again! I'm enjoying getting to dig into Helix more deeply and see
what it's capable of.

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. I will stick with 1.0.1 then.
The pending issue I linked is not something PR-able (I don't think) since
it has to do with the published binary release, but if I encounter anything
else I will certainly consider creating a PR. Thanks again!

Thanks Brent! I would suggest you to use 1.0.1 instead of using 0.9.x...
Here're the two reasons:
1. 0.9.x releases are maintaining releases for the ones not upgrading to
1.0+. There will only be on demand / critical fixes. If you need
advanced features, such as WAGED and other developing features. You have to
bump up your version finally
2. 1.0+ versions have backward incompatible changes compared to 0.9.x. If
you started with 0.9.x, you have to refactor your codebase once you decide
to bump the version up to 1.0+ to use new features.
For the pending issues, if you are interested, feel free to investigate it
and submit PRs to Helix. We would like to see more and more people
contributing to Helix!
Best,
Junkai
