This page is prepared for Hive committers. You need committer rights to create a new Hive release.
Hadoop Version Warning
This page assumes you are releasing from the master branch, and thus omits the use of Maven profiles to determine which version of Hadoop you are building against. If you are releasing from branch-1, you will need to add -Phadoop-2
to most of your Maven commands.
Storage API Release
The Hive projects has two products that are released separately:
- Storage-API – the vectorization and predicate push down classes
- Hive – the rest of Hive
Most Hive releases will require a new storage-api release and the storage-api currently releases faster than Hive, so has higher version numbers.
Storage API Prepare Master Branch
Skip this section if this is NOT the first release in a series (i.e., release X.Y.0).
Check out the master branch
git checkout master
Increment the value of the
version
property in the storage-api/pom.xml file. For example, if the current value is 2.5.0-SNAPSHOT
, the new value should be 2.6.0-SNAPSHOT
. Please note that theSNAPSHOT
suffix is required in order to indicate that this is an unreleased development branch.Update the storage-api.version property in the root pom.xml and standalone-metastore/pom.xml to the new value from the step above.
- Verify that the build is working with changes.
Commit these changes to master with a comment "Preparing for storage-api X.Y+1.0 development".
Storage API Branching
Skip this section if this is NOT the first release in a series (i.e., release X.Y.0).
Notify developers on the #hive IRC channel and dev@hive mailing lists that you are about to branch a release.
Create a branch for the release series:
git checkout -b storage-branch-X.Y origin/master
Update the
version
property value in the storage-api/pom.xml file. You should remove theSNAPSHOT
suffix and setversion
equal toX.Y.Z
whereZ
is the point release number in this release series (0 for the first one, in which case this step is a no-op since you already did this above when creating the branch). Use Maven's Versions plugin to do this as follows:- Verify that the build is working with changes.
Commit these changes with a comment "Preparing for storage-api X.Y.Z release".
Tag the release candidate (
R
is the release candidate number, and also starts from 0):git commit -a -m "Preparing for storage-api X.Y.Z release" git push -u origin storage-branch-X.Y git tag -a storage-release-X.Y.Z-rcR -m "Hive Storage API X.Y.Z-rcR release." git push origin storage-release-X.Y.Z-rcR
Making Storage API Release Artifacts
- Make sure your release notes have been updated for any new commits, and go through the previous steps if necessary.
Create and publish the tag:
git tag storage-release-X.Y.Z-rcR -m "Hive Storage API X.Y.Z-rcR release." git push origin storage-release-X.Y.Z-rcR
Build the release (binary and source versions) after running unit tests. Manually create the sha file.
% wget https://github.com/apache/hive/archive/storage-release-X.Y.Z-rcR.tar.gz % tar xzvf storage-release-X.Y.Z-rcR.tar.gz % mv storage-release-X.Y.Z-rcR/storage-api hive-storage-X.Y.Z % tar czvf hive-storage-X.Y.Z-rcR.tar.gz hive-storage-X.Y.Z % shasum -a 256 hive-storage-X.Y.Z-rcR.tar.gz > hive-storage-X.Y.Z-rcR.tar.gz.sha256
- Setup your PGP keys for signing the release, if you don't have them already.
Sign the release (see Step-By-Step Guide to Mirroring Releases for more information).
% gpg --armor --detach-sig hive-storage-X.Y.Z-rcR.tar.gz
Check the signatures.
% shasum -c hive-storage-X.Y.Z-rcR.tar.gz.sha256 hive-storage-X.Y.Z-rcR.tar.gz: OK % gpg hive-storage-X.Y.Z-rcR.tar.gz.asc gpg: assuming signed data in `hive-storage-X.Y.Z-rcR.tar.gz' gpg: Signature made Fri Apr 28 12:50:03 2017 PDT using RSA key ID YOUR-KEY-ID gpg: Good signature from "Your Name <YOUR-APACHE-ID@apache.org>"
Copy release files to a public place.
% sftp YOUR-APACHE-ID@home.apache.org sftp> cd public_html sftp> mkdir hive-storage-X.Y.Z sftp> cd hive-storage-X.Y.Z sftp> put hive-storage-X.Y.Z-rcR.tar.gz* sftp> quit
Send email to dev@hive.apache.org calling the vote.
Publishing the Storage API Artifacts
After the release vote passes, push the artifacts to Nexus. (If you get an error
gpg: signing failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
trying doingexport GPG_TTY=$(tty)
.)% git checkout storage-release-X.Y.Z-rcR % cd storage-api % mvn -Papache-release -DskipTests clean deploy
- Login to Nexus and close the repository. Mark the repository as released.
Create the final tag (be very careful, tags in "rel/" are not changeable).
% git checkout storage-release-X.Y.Z-rcR % git tag -s rel/storage-release-X.Y.Z -m "Hive Storage API X.Y.Z" % git push origin rel/storage-release-X.Y.Z
- Add the artifacts to Hive's dist area. There might be a problem with the size of the artifact. - INFRA-23055Getting issue details... STATUS solved the issue.
% svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/hive hive-dist % cd hive-dist % mkdir hive-storage-X.Y.Z % cd hive-storage-X.Y.Z % wget https://home.apache.org/~YOUR-APACHE-ID/hive-storage-X.Y.Z/hive-storage-X.Y.Z-rcR.tar.gz{,.sha256,.asc} % svn add . % svn commit
Preparing Branch for further development
- Edit storage-api/pom.xml to change version to X.Y.Z+1-SNAPSHOT.
- Edit pom.xml to change storage-api.version to X.Y.Z+1-SNAPSHOT.
- Commit the changes back
% git commit -a -s -m 'Preparing for development post-X.Y.Z.' % git push origin storage-branch-X.Y
Cleaning Up Storage API Artifacts
- Delete the storage-release-X.Y.Z-rcR tags.
- Delete the artifacts from home.apache.org.
Hive Release
Preparation
- Bulk update Jira to unassign from this release all issues that are open non-blockers and send follow-up notification to the developer list that this was done. There are two kinds of JIRAs that need to be taken care of:
- Unresolved JIRAs with Target Version/s or Fix Version/s (legacy) set to the release in question.
- Resolved/closed(!) JIRAs with Target Version/s, but not Fix Version/s set to the release in question (e.g. a JIRA targets 2.0.0 and 1.3.0, but was only committed to 2.0.0).
- Run 'mvn clean apache-rat:check' and examine the generated report for any files, especially .java files which should all have Apache license headers. Note also, that each individual component will have a rat.txt inside it when you run this – be sure to check ql/target/rat.txt, for example. Add the license header to any file that is missing it (open a jira and submit a patch).
- Update copyright date in NOTICE. If any components mentioned in them have updated versions, you would need to update the copyright dates for those. (Thejas comment: It sounds like entries are needed in NOTICE only if the license requires such attribution. See https://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice.)
Branching
Skip this section if this is NOT the first release in a series (i.e., release X.Y.0).
Notify developers on the #hive IRC channel and dev@hive mailing lists that you are about to branch a release.
Create a branch for the release series:
git checkout -b branch-X.Y origin/master git push -u origin branch-X.Y
Increment the value of the
version
property in all pom.xml files. For example, if the current value is0.7.0-SNAPSHOT
, the new value should be0.8.0-SNAPSHOT
. Please note that theSNAPSHOT
suffix is required in order to indicate that this is an unreleased development branch. This can be accomplished with a single command using Maven's Versions plugin as follows:mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=X.Y.0-SNAPSHOT -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
- Make changes to metastore upgrade scripts. See HIVE-6555 on how this was done for HIVE 0.13.
- Verify that the build is working with changes.
Commit these changes to master with a comment "Preparing for X.Y+1.0 development".
Updating Release Branch
These operations take place in the release branch.
Check out the release branch with:
git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/hive.git/ <hive_src_dir> cd <hive_src_dir> git checkout branch-X.Y
Update the
version
property value in all pom.xml files. You should remove theSNAPSHOT
suffix and setversion
equal tohive-X.Y.Z
where Z is the point release number in this release series (0 for the first one, in which case this step is a no-op since you already did this above when creating the branch). Use Maven's Versions plugin to do this as follows:mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=0.7.0 -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
Make sure to update the version property in standalone-metastore/pom.xml and upgrade-acid/pom.xml.
Remove the storage-api from the list of modules to build in the top level pom.xml. Set the storage-api.version property to the release of storage-api that you are using for your release. Make sure to set the storage-api.version property in standalone-metastore/pom.xml as well.
- Update the the value of the
TRACKING_BRANCH
field in the.reviewboardrc
file to point to theorigin/branch-X.Y
. - Verify that the build is working with changes.
Commit these changes with a comment "Preparing for X.Y.Z release".
If not already done, merge desired patches from trunk into the branch and commit these changes. Avoid usage of "git merge" to avoid too many merge commits. Either request the committer who committed that patch in master to commit to this branch, or commit it yourself, or try doing a git cherry-pick for trivial patches. Specifics of this step can be laid down by the release manager.
- You probably also want to commit a patch (on both trunk and branch) which updates README.txt to bring it up to date (at a minimum, search+replacing references to the version number). Also check NOTICE to see if anything needs to be updated for recent library dependency changes or additions.
- Select all of the JIRAs for the current release that aren't FIXED and do bulk update to clear the 'Fixed Version' field.
- Likewise, use JIRA's Release Notes link to generate content for the RELEASE_NOTES.txt file. Be sure to select 'Text' format. (It's OK to do this with a direct commit rather than a patch.)
- Update the release notes in trunk with the release notes in branch.
Tag the release candidate (R is the release candidate number, and also starts from 0):
git tag -a release-X.Y.Z-rcR -m "Hive X.Y.Z-rcR release." git push origin release-X.Y.Z-rcR
Building
- Make sure your release notes have been updated for any new commits, and go through the previous steps if necessary.
Build the release (binary and source versions) after running unit tests. Manually create the sha256 files.
% mvn install -Pdist,iceberg -DskipTests -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true -DcreateChecksum=true % cd packaging/target % shasum -a 256 apache-hive-X.Y.Z-bin.tar.gz > apache-hive-X.Y.Z-bin.tar.gz.sha256 % shasum -a 256 apache-hive-X.Y.Z-src.tar.gz > apache-hive-X.Y.Z-src.tar.gz.sha256
Verify that the SHA 256 checksums are valid:
% shasum -a 256 -c apache-hive-X.Y.Z-bin.tar.gz.sha256 apache-hive-X.Y.Z-bin.tar.gz: OK % shasum -a 256 -c apache-hive-X.Y.Z-src.tar.gz.sha256 apache-hive-X.Y.Z-src.tar.gz: OK
- Check that release file looks ok -- e.g., install it and run examples from tutorial.
- Setup your PGP keys for signing the release, if you don't have them already.
% gpg --full-generate-key % gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --send-keys <PUB_KEY> % svn co --depth files https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/hive % cd hive % (gpg --list-sigs <NAME> && gpg --armor --export <NAME>) >> KEYS % svn add KEYS % svn commit -m 'Adding <FullName>'s key'
Sign the release (see Step-By-Step Guide to Mirroring Releases for more information).
% gpg --armor --output apache-hive-X.Y.Z-bin.tar.gz.asc --detach-sig apache-hive-X.Y.Z-bin.tar.gz % gpg --armor --output apache-hive-X.Y.Z-src.tar.gz.asc --detach-sig apache-hive-X.Y.Z-src.tar.gz
Follow instructions in https://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing.html#distribution to push the new release artifacts (tar.gz, tar.gz.asc, tar.gz.sha256) to the SVN staging area of the project (https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hive/). Make sure to create a new directory for the release candidate. You may need PMC privileges to do this step – if you do not have such privileges, please ping a PMC member to do this for you.
svn co --depth empty https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist cd dist svn update --set-depth empty dev svn update --set-depth empty dev/hive mkdir dev/hive/rX.Y.Z/ cp <hive-source-dir>/packaging/target/apache-hive-X.Y.Z*.tar.gz* dev/hive/r.X.Y.Z/ svn add dev/hive/rX.Y.Z svn commit -m "Hive X.Y.Z release"
Publish Maven artifacts to the Apache staging repository. Make sure to have this setup for Apache releases. Use committer setting.xml.
Note: If you get an error
gpg: signing failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device,
try doing `export GPG_TTY=$(tty)`
Note: if you have multiple gpg keys, you may need to specify which key to use via -Dgpg.keyname=<PRIV_KEY>
% mvn deploy -DskipTests -Papache-release,iceberg -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true
- Login to the Apache Nexus server and "close" the staged repository. This makes the artifacts available at a temporary URL.
Voting
Call a release vote on dev at hive.apache.org.
From: you@apache.org To: dev@hive.apache.org Subject: [VOTE] Apache Hive X.Y.Z Release Candidate N Apache Hive X.Y.Z Release Candidate N is available here: https://people.apache.org/~you/hive-X.Y.Z-candidate-N The checksums are these: - ff60286044d2f3faa8ad1475132cdcecf4ce9ed8faf1ed4e56a6753ebc3ab585 apache-hive-4.0.0-alpha-1-bin.tar.gz - 07f30371df5f624352fa1d0fa50fd981a4dec6d4311bb340bace5dd7247d3015 apache-hive-4.0.0-alpha-1-src.tar.gz Maven artifacts are available here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehive-121/ The tag release-X.Y.Z-rcR has been applied to the source for this release in github, you can see it at https://github.com/apache/hive/tree/release-X.Y.Z-rcR The git commit hash is: https://github.com/apache/hive/commit/357d4906f5c806d585fd84db57cf296e12e6049b Voting will conclude in 72 hours. Hive PMC Members: Please test and vote. Thanks.
Verifying the Release Candidate
Verifying the PGP signature:
#get the hive committers keys file wget https://www.apache.org/dist/hive/KEYS or wget https://people.apache.org/keys/group/hive.asc gpg --import <keys file> gpg --verify hive-X.Y.Z-bin.tar.gz.asc hive-X.Y.Z-bin.tar.gz gpg --verify hive-X.Y.Z.tar.gz.asc hive-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
- Verifying the sha256 checksum:
See the step under Building.
Publishing
Once three PMC members have voted for a release, it may be published.
Tag the release and delete the release candidate tag:
git tag -s rel/release-X.Y.Z release-X.Y.Z-rcR -m "HiveX.Y.Z release." # where -rcR was the last tagged release candidate that passed the vote git push origin rel/release-X.Y.Z git tag -d release-X.Y.Z-rcR git push origin :release-X.Y.Z-rcR
Move the release artifacts to the release area of the project (https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/hive/). Using svn mv command is important otherwise you may hit size limitations applying to artifacts( - INFRA-23055Getting issue details... STATUS )
svn mv https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hive/hive-X.Y.Z https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/hive/hive-X.Y.Z -m "Move hive-X.Y.Z release from dev to release"
- Wait till the release propagates to the mirrors and appears under: https://dlcdn.apache.org/hive/
In your base hive source directory, generate javadocs as follows:
mvn clean install javadoc:javadoc javadoc:aggregate -DskipTests -Pjavadoc
After you run this, you should have javadocs present in your <hive_source_dir>/target/site/apidocs
Check out the javadocs svn repository as follows:
svn co --depth empty https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/websites/production/hive/content/javadocs
Copy the generated javadocs from the source repository to the javadocs repository, add and commit:
mkdir <hive_javadocs_repo_dir>/rX.Y.Z/ cd <hive_javadocs_repo_dir> cp -r <hive_source_dir>/target/site/apidocs ./rX.Y.Z/api svn add rX.Y.Z svn commit
If this is a bugfix release, svn rm the obsoleted version. (For eg., when committing javadocs for r0.13.1, r0.13.0 would have been removed)
Prepare to edit the website.
git clone https://github.com/apache/hive-site.git
Edit files content/downloads.mdtext and javadoc.mdtext to appropriately add entries for the new release in the appropriate location. For example, for 1.2.0, the entries made were as follows:
./downloads.md:### 18 May 2015 : release 1.2.0 available ./downloads.md:You can look at the complete [JIRA change log for this release][HIVE_1_2_0_CL]. ./downloads.md:[HIVE_1_2_0_CL]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=12329345&styleName=Text&projectId=12310843 ./javadoc.md: * [Hive 1.2.0 Javadocs][r1.2.0] ./javadoc.md:[r1.2.0]: /javadocs/r1.2.0/api/index.html
As you can see, you will need a release note link for this release as created previously for this section.
Push your changes to the https://github.com/apache/hive-site/tree/gh-pages branch, and you can preview the results at https://apache.github.io/hive-site/. If everything is ok, then you can push your changes to https://github.com/apache/hive-site/tree/main branch and see the results at https://hive.apache.org/ site.
- Update JIRA
- Ensure that only issues in the "Fixed" state have a "Fix Version" set to release X.Y.Z.
- Release the version. Visit the releases page. Select the version number you are releasing, and hit the release button. You need to have the "Admin" role in Hive's Jira for this step and the next.
- Close issues resolved in the release. Disable mail notifications for this bulk change.
Login to the Apache Nexus server and mark the release candidate artifacts as released.
Add the release in Apache Committee Report Helper for the next board report to pick that up automatically.
Send a release announcement to Hive
user
anddev
lists as well as the Apacheannounce
list. This email should be sent from your Apache email address:From: you@apache.org To: user@hive.apache.org, dev@hive.apache.org Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Hive X.Y.Z Released The Apache Hive team is proud to announce the release of Apache Hive version X.Y.Z. The Apache Hive (TM) data warehouse software facilitates querying and managing large datasets residing in distributed storage. Built on top of Apache Hadoop (TM), it provides, among others: * Tools to enable easy data extract/transform/load (ETL) * A mechanism to impose structure on a variety of data formats * Access to files stored either directly in Apache HDFS (TM) or in other data storage systems such as Apache HBase (TM) * Query execution via Apache Hadoop MapReduce, Apache Tez and Apache Spark frameworks. For Hive release details and downloads, please visit: https://hive.apache.org/downloads.html Hive X.Y.Z Release Notes are available here: [UPDATE THIS LINK] https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310843&version=12316178 We would like to thank the many contributors who made this release possible. Regards, The Apache Hive Team
Preparing Branch for Future Maintenance Release
After the release has been completed, prepare the branch for the next development cycle.
Check out the release branch with:
git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/hive.git/ <hive_src_dir> cd <hive_src_dir> git checkout branch-X.Y
Increment the
version
property value in all pom.xml files and add theSNAPSHOT
suffix. For example, if the released version was0.7.0
, the new value should be0.7.1-SNAPSHOT
. Please note that theSNAPSHOT
suffix is required in order to indicate that this is an unreleased development branch. Use Maven's Versions plugin to do this as follows:mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=0.7.1-SNAPSHOT -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
- If the release number you are preparing moves the major (first) or minor (second) number, update the Hive version name in the poms. In both
pom.xml
andstandalone-metastore/pom.xml
search for the propertyhive.version.shortname
. This should match the new version number.
For example, if you are working on branch-3 and have just released Hive 3.2 and are preparing the branch for Hive 3.3 development, you need to update both poms to have<hive.version.shortname>3.3.0</hive.shortname.version>
. If however you are working on branch-3.1 and have just released Hive 3.1.2 and are preparing the branch for 3.1.3 development, this is not necessary. - Verify that the build is working with changes.
Commit these changes with a comment "Preparing for X.Y.Z+1 development".
