Re: [geomesa-users] Branching Model + listserv
Cool, I'm going to try to use the geomesa-dev listserv for open, technical GeoMesa discussions!
I'm looking forward to keeping our minor versions compatible. I know I keep saying it, but I am thinking about and tinkering with better integration testing and this would be an example of a good integration test!

Andrew,

Yes, there is a developers' list analogous to this users' list:
   https://locationtech.org/mailman/listinfo/geomesa-dev

It is archived, searchable the same way.

I agree that all 1.2.x versions should be read/write compatible, but in
some sense, I think that will be a consequence of our versioning, not a
consequence of our discipline:  As soon as we fail to be compatible,
semver will have us bump at the major version level.

In any event, I agree that this is a good discussion to conduct in a
public forum.

Thanks!

Sincerely,

Since we're talking about releases...I was wondering what people thought
about changing out branching model to create a maintenance branch for
the 1.2.x series and then bump master to 1.3.0 for new features. For
example, new datastores like dynamo or the native API would go onto the
1.3 master and we'd fixate things at 1.2.x and actually follow the
semantic versioning guidelines since technically 1.2.1 and 1.2.2, etc
should only be bug fixes.

The ideal goal is to have all 1.2.x clients work with 1.2.x server
iterators and plugins. Granted thats tough, but as we mature I think its
a good goal. Accumulo guarantees that the 1.6.x series are all binary
compatible with each other (and also don't introduce any breaking
changes on the server side) so you're original client at 1.6.0 works
with a 1.6.5 cluster.

Also, do we have a geomesa-dev listserv and archives? We should probably
try to keep technical discussion on there as much as possible to show
that we are active on the user lists and discussion forums as an open
source project! Granted many devs are at CCRI, but the LT listserv
should be more visible to people who are interested in the project.
Also, since many clients are internal to CCRI it means that bugs and
questions will be googleable(?) assuming we have a good crawlable(?)
archive.

Any thoughts?

Andrew
