Hi all, I’ve been very interested in Samza for about a year and a half and now I finally have an opportunity to build a system with it and get hands-on experience. I’m excited to dig in.
While ramping up, I noticed that the downloads page on the site — http://samza.apache.org/startup/download — seems to be out of date. 0.10.0 was released in December, but the source releases linked to on this page are 0.7.0 and 0.8.0, and the XML block for inclusion in pom.xml files lists 0.8.0 as the version number for all artifacts — shouldn’t they all be 0.10.0? This is confusing, especially because the current version number isn’t declared clearly anywhere in the site (that I could find). It would be very helpful if there was a paragraph at the top of the downloads page that declared this very clearly. (It would also be nice if there were links to a release history and to the blog somewhere on the site, but those are tangents.) I checked the source repo and it seems the branch 0.10.0 contains updated content for this page, so I guess it just hasn’t been published yet… is there any specific reason for the delay? Is there anything I can do to help? Thanks! Avi
