Hi everyone, It took nearly 20 days to release Iceberg 1.5.0. Here are the insights that I gathered from the 1.5.0 RCs.
1. Testing Trino with nightly snapshots before RCs could have prevented two RCs, avoiding costly testing with RCs. 2. Testing all functionalities in the initial RC could have detected issues earlier, such as the Show views and REST catalog problems. 3. Checking the content of the staging repository, including extra jars, is crucial. 4. Having a committer take on the role of release manager proves beneficial, as tasks such as staging artifacts, signing, creating tags, publishing docs necessitate permissions. While our committer community provided strong support, the release process could be more efficient and faster with a committer as a release manager. 5. Publishing site docs is complex and manual work now. Automating site doc and Javadoc can prevent errors, especially since release managers may change. Hope these learnings can be useful for upcoming releases. - Ajantha On Mon, Mar 11, 2024 at 10:01 PM Russell Spitzer <russell.spit...@gmail.com> wrote: > +1 (binding) > > Verified all the usual things > Ran full test suite > Everything looking good > > On Mar 8, 2024, at 11:35 PM, Szehon Ho <szehon.apa...@gmail.com> wrote: > > +1 (binding) > > * Verified signature > * Verified checksum > * RAT check > * built JDK 11 > * Ran basic tests on Spark 3.5 > > Thanks > Szehon > > On Fri, Mar 8, 2024 at 5:50 PM Amogh Jahagirdar <am...@tabular.io> wrote: > >> +1 non-binding >> >> Verified signatures,checksums,RAT checks, build, and tests with JDK11.
