Hi Vihang, Regarding " branch-4.0.0-alpha1 and branch-4.0.0-alpha-2" : Those branches were created for releasing those alpha1 & alpha2 versions. Currently, the master branch points to 4.0.0-Snapshot [1], so that would be used for the next release. A branch would be cut from the current master branch.
So, in an ideal scenario, we would have cut a branch off the master branch and named it as branch-4.0.0 and used it for releasing the hive-4 version. This thread [2] has details around the next releases, We have decided to have one more beta release before the 4.0.0 release, so a branch like branch-4.0.0-beta1 would be created from master and then post that beta release when we go for 4.0.0 release, As per the timelines: 4.0.0-beta1 branch should be there by next week & may be a release vote by End of Month, and then we would be planning for hive-4 GA release in a couple of months time, when we sort out all the release blockers for that release. Hope I didn't contribute more to the confusion :-) -Ayush [1] https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/a73194342cf99a907531565e0c98af7effb79637/pom.xml#L24 [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread/vpr0hfypf9f3g7lffwk4pz5g5g59qwzh On Thu, 8 Jun 2023 at 10:44, vihang karajgaonkar <vihan...@apache.org> wrote: > Hello Dev community, > > I noticed that we have a branch-4.0.0-alpha1 and branch-4.0.0-alpha-2 but I > don't see a branch-4.
