Based on our discussion and vote last week I'm working on creating
branch-1. I plan to make the branch tomorrow. If anyone has a large
commit they don't want to have to commit twice and they are close to
committing it let me know so I can make sure it gets in before I branch.
I'll also be updating
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HowToContribute to
clarify how to handle feature and bug fix patches on master and branch-1.
Also, we will need to make sure patches can be tested against master and
branch-1. If I understand correctly the test system today will run a
patch against a branch instead of master if the patch is named with the
branch name. There are a couple of issues with this. One, people will
often want to submit two versions of patches and have them both tested
(one against master and one against branch-1) rather than one or the
other. The second is we will want a way for one patch to be tested
against both when appropriate. The first case could be handled by the
system picking up both branch-1 and master patches and running them
automatically. The second could be handled by hints in the comments so
the system needs to run both. I'm open to other suggestions as well.
Can someone familiar with the testing code point to where I'd look to
see what it would take to make this work?
Alan.
