[DISCUSS] Release cadence and EOL

Forking off this discussion from 2.6.5 release thread. Junping and Chris T have brought up important concerns regarding too many concurrent releases and the lack of EOL for our releases. First up, it would be nice to hear from others on our releases having the notion of EOL and other predictabilit

Re: [Release thread] 2.6.5 release activities

Re: [Release thread] 2.6.5 release activities

You might want the snapshot bug fix done in HDFS-7056. This bug creates snapshot filediffs even if you never use snapshot. For 2.6, we will have to do it in a separate jira to pick up the fix only. Related to this, HDFS-9696 might be of interest too. Kihwal From: Chris Trezzo To: Karthi

Re: [Release thread] 2.6.5 release activities

I am OK with going forward for 2.6.5 release given some people may not be ready for migration to 2.7 and we have done some preparation work already. Thanks Chris for pushing the release work forward! About future releases of 2.6 (after 2.6.5) or any other legacy releases, I think it worth more d

Thanks everyone for the discussion! Based on what has been said in this thread, I will move forward on the preparation efforts (working with Sangjin and the community) for a 2.6.5 release. If there is a strong objection to this, please let us know. I see three initial tasks going forward: 1. Fix
