Hello Arrow community! I am coming from the Apache Pekko community where we are trying to bootstrap the newly approved incubator project. Currently we are working on snapshots/nightlies, specifically where to upload them and also the process of generating the snapshots (i.e. nightly, after merge into main etc etc).
As of now we are uploading into Apache nightlies (i.e. https://nightlies.apache.org/ with PR https://github.com/apache/incubator-pekko/pull/60) and the method of uploading was actually derived from Apache Arrow. However after further cursory investigation I found out that Apache Arrow seems to be the only Apache project that seems to upload snapshots into https://nightlies.apache.org/. Every other project uploads snapshots into Apache's Nexus snapshot repository (i.e. https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/) and after discussion with Apache's #askinfra slack channel, they also recommend that any JVM library snapshot artifacts be published to this Nexus Snapshot Repository. So the question is, is there a reason why this project is uploading snapshot jars into the nightlies? The only technical reason I can come up with is that with nightlies you have control over the expiry (i.e. setting it to 30 days), whereas with Apache's Snapshot Repo there is a default global job that cleans snapshots. Pekko is currently considering uploading to Apache's Nexus Snapshot Repo instead of nightlies but I want to make sure we haven't missed anything, for context of the discussion in pekko see https://lists.apache.org/thread/p5s8ysypyd2l2slb3o9f2v5vrf8dgsx8.
