Before you begin
Software dependencies
- Ensure that the release manager has bulk modification permissions on Apache Geode JIRA.
To verify
...
- git → https://git-scm.com/downloads
- docker →
...
...
- Ensure you have permission to modify the wiki for the release docs : Release Notes
- The release manager will need to have a Docker Hub credential that has permission to upload Apache Geode to Docker Hub. To get permissions follow the steps below
- If you don't have a docker hub account create one at https://hub.docker.com/
- After creating the docker hub ID, send an email to dev@geode.apache.org requesting access to upload Apache Geode artifacts to Docker Hub mentioning your docker id.
- Ensure that you have a valid pgp key.
- For MacOS use https://gpgtools.org/
- For Ubuntu https://askubuntu.com/questions/100281/how-do-i-make-a-pgp-key
- Ensure that the public key is published and uploaded to servers.
- Ask a fellow committer to co-sign the keys, this ensures that the keys are available on public servers.
- Add your public key block to KEYS file in develop branch if they are not already present in it.
On MacOS : (More information available at https://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#basic-facts)

Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
Send a [DISCUSS] email to dev@geode.apache.org informing developers that a new release branch is about to be created. Request developers to respond back if they are waiting to finish a JIRA issue, or feel that a particular JIRA / fix must be included in the release. Once the discussion comes to a conclusion and everything that is necessary for the release is present in the develop branch we start with creating the release branch. |
Creating the release branch:
...
Create the release branch.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
git checkout -b release/{version} |
...
gradle.properties
- remove -SNAPSHOT in releaseType
...
- Update GEODE_GPG with your GPG fingerprint.
- Update GEODE_VERSION with the release version (eg. 1.8.0)
Update the version number in all the expected pom files. Doing it manually takes a lot of time. If you choose to do it I have listed the files below. Otherwise please use the script below to do it.
...
title | Updating the expected-pom files |
---|
- build geode after the version is updated in gradle.properties. NOTE: The build will fail but will have the correct expected-pom.xml files
Code Block | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
./gradlew clean build -Dskip.tests=true |
- create a script in geode folder and assign executable permission.

Geode 1.7.0 contains a number of improvements and bug fixes. It includes performance improvements in OQL order-by and distinct queries in client/server when security is enabled. New GFSH commands were added to get/set cluster config and to destroy gateway receivers. A new post processor was added to the new client protocol. Pulse now supports legacy SSL options. Auto-reconnecting members no more reuse old addresses and IDs. Duplicated or member-specific receivers are removed from cluster config during rolling upgrades. Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest release. |

Terminology
A major release is a version x.0.0
and allows/implies breaking changes, removal of deprecated methods, changes to minimum JDK, etc.
A minor release is a version x.y.0
where y > 0
and typically allows/implies new features.
A patch release is a version x.y.n
where n
> 0
and should contain a limited number of critical fixes only.
Except where noted, all instructions in this guide apply to all three types of releases. Dev list proposals for patch releases may be made at any time since the branch already exists, however some planning ahead is helpful for major or minor releases. since it is usually desirable to cut the branch a couple months in advance.
Propose cutting a support branch (major/minor only)
Send a [DISCUSS] email to dev@geode.apache.org proposing that a new support branch be created.
Review LICENSE and NOTICE files
Confirm that the Geode LICENSE and NOTICE files on develop are accurate (ask for help on the dev list if needed). This is best done before cutting the branch, otherwise be sure to backport any changes to the support branch as well.
cd .. && ./geode/
dev-tools/release/license_review.sh -v HEAD
-p 1.12.0
(replace 1.12.0 with the version of the previous release) to check the LICENSE files for missing dependencies or outdated versions and compare dependencies against a previous release. If any dependencies were removed, manually check for stale references in LICENSE or NOTICE files that can be removed. If new dependencies were added that have Apache 2.0 License, add them to the license_review script'sisApache2
function. If a new 3rd-party .jar is now appearing in the binary distribution, update geode-assembly/src/main/dist/LICENSE appropriately. If new 3rd-party intellectual property was checked into the source tree (e.g. a javascript library), update both LICENSE and geode-assembly/src/main/dist/LICENSE.
Branching for release
Create the support branches (major/minor only)
From one directory above a checkout of latest geode develop, run the
create_support_branches
script. This will create branches on all projects and update version numbers appropriately, and guide you though creating the support pipeline, updating Jira, and creating a PR to bumpdevelop
to the next version.Code Block language bash cd .. geode/dev-tools/release/create_support_branches.sh -v 1.13 -g your_github_username
Review the benchmark baseline on the support branch. It should usually be {previous release}
See ci/pipelines/shared/jinja.variables.yml around line 20 (under
benchmarks:
)Code Block language yml baseline_version: '1.12.0'
Send email to dev@geode.apache.org informing the creation of the support branch and any rules for backporting changes to the branch.
No Format Hello Geode Dev Community, We have created a new support branch for Apache Geode {x.y.0} - "support/{x.y}" Please focus your acceptance testing on this branch and raise any concerns in the next few weeks. If any changes are needed please add blocks-{x.y.0} label in Jira and create a PR against support/{x.y}. After some quiet period we will prepare a release candidate and begin voting upon it. Regards {Release Manager}
For the duration of the release process, continue to monitor the new release pipeline and address any issues that may arise, including analyzing any test failures (ask for volunteers on the dev list to investigate any failures you are unsure of).
Bump the version of the develop branch (major/minor only)
The
create_support_branches
script already walked you through creating the PR for this, adding the new version to Jira, and bumping the pipeline version on develop. (note: you must be in the Jira Administrators group to see the Add button in Jira; request permission on the dev list if you don't see it).
Validate Fix Versions in JIRA
There are two parts to this audit:
- Does every commit since the last release have a corresponding Jira ticket marked as Fixed in this version?
- Can every Jira ticket marked as fixed in this version be traced to a commit in this support branch since the last release?
To help automate the process of identifying commits and tickets in need of review, you may find this script useful, or create your own script.
Tips:
- If a Jira ticket is fixed on develop AND cherry-picked to a support branch, it should list both fix versions.
- If a Jira ticket is fixed by way of another commit or Jira ticket, there should be a comment detailing this.
- If a Jira ticket is partially fixed but there is more work to be done in the next release, splitting into two tickets may be the best way to represent that.
- Don't forget about geode-native. It's a separate git repository but uses GEODE Jira tickets and is released as part of Geode.
- Be mindful of revert commits.
- Be mindful of Jira tickets resolved as "Won't Fix", "Duplicate" etc.
- Be mindful of Jira tickets that were re-opened, but the Fixed version was never cleared.
- For changes that came in close to the time a support branch was cut, double-check whether the fix actually made it onto the branch. The list of release start dates can be helpful, but checkout the release tag to confirm for certain.
- When in doubt, reach out to people that have been involved the with ticket to confirm its status. Many times they just forgot to marked it fixed when their PR got merged, or forgot to fill in the fixed version.
Begin preparing release documentation
- Start preparing the release docs at Release Notes. Ask the community for suggestions on fixes and features to highlight, or go through the commits yourself and choose 5-10 items of interest.
Also write up a short paragraph on what was added to the release. This will need to go with the final announce email. Sample:
No Format Geode 1.13.0 contains a number of improvements and bug fixes. Changes since last release: - Performance improvements in OQL order-by and distinct queries in client/server when security is enabled. - New GFSH commands were added to get/set cluster config and to destroy gateway receivers. - A new post processor was added to the new client protocol. - Pulse now supports legacy SSL options. - Auto-reconnecting members no longer reuse old addresses and IDs. - Duplicated or member-specific receivers are removed from cluster config during rolling upgrades. Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest release.
Creating a Release Candidate
Accept critical fixes to the support branch
It is expected that some stabilization work may be needed once the support branch is cut. This phase may be very short or very long until a Release Candidate is proposed.
The Release Manager will set the rules for backporting changes to the support branch. For example, they may stipulate critical fixes only and/or require a dev list proposal and/or require a PR against the support branch and/or require a label to be added in Jira. In all cases, fixes need to be made on develop first, then backported.
By some method, determine when all fixes are in. This might involve one or more of:
- checking for Jira tickets tagged as blockers that are not yet delivered
- checking for PRs that are not yet merged
- checking on the dev list for proposals
- waiting for any test failures or other concerns to be resolved
- waiting for some quiet period of no new blocker, PRs, proposals, or concerns.
When all signs point to "go", you can either just create the RC and propose it in one email, or if there is any uncertainly, start a dev list discussion first.
Create the release candidate
From one directory above a checkout of latest geode develop, run the
prepare_rc
script (a release-n.n.n-workspace dir will be created in the current directory). This script will do a fresh checkout of the support branch for all repos, build them, and prepare the artifacts. It will also prepare RC tags in each repository and finally pre-stage to nexus. Do not run this in a remote shell or headless environment, as a GUI is required to prompt for your GPG passphrase (several times) and your ASF LDAP password (Apache password). Do not include@
apache.org
in your apache username. If your are not a PMC member, when prompted for SVN password, hit enter and ask a PMC member to enter their username and password, otherwise you will not be able to make the final release later.Code Block geode/dev-tools/release/prepare_rc.sh -v 1.13.0.RC1 -k last_8_digits_of_your_gpg_key -a your_apache_ldap_username
The "next steps" printed out at the end of the prepare_rc script will walk you through the remaining steps to finalize nexus staging (pictured below), publish the release candidate, and send the VOTE email.
If there is an older geode staging repository listed (from a previous RC, make sure you drop it. Find "orgapachegeode-####" and click on "Drop"
Sanity Checks
- As instructed by
commit_rc
, before giving the RC to the community to validate, make anrc
pipeline to validate that the artifacts are viable (do this in a separate terminal window as it can be quite verbose):
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
geode/dev-tools/release/deploy_rc_pipeline.sh -v 1.13 |
2. wait for all jobs to turn green (about 1-2 hours)
Send out an email announcing the RC
The last instruction from the prepare_rc script
will be to run the commit_rc
script. When that is complete, it will print out the contents of the email for you to send (and also copy it to your clipboard, if you have pbcopy
installed). If you need to re-generate the email for any reason, use geode/dev-tools/release/print_rc_email.sh
.
Click on every link to validate (especially release notes!), then send the email to the dev@geode.apache.org with subject "[VOTE] Apache Geode <ver>.RC<n>".
The voting deadline should be at least 72 hours in the future (typically 3pm 5 days hence if there is a weekend). For emergency patch releases, an expedited voting deadline of as little as 24 hours may be used.
Tally the votes
After the deadline has passed, reply to the VOTE thread with a voting result summary similar to the following (use the PMC roster to determine which votes are binding):
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
It's past the announced deadline and we have enough votes to close the vote.
Voting status
==========
+1: 3 binding votes
* Name (PMC member)
* Name (PMC member)
* Name (PMC member)
* Other Name
* Other Name
+0: zero votes
-0: zero votes
-1: zero votes
The voting meets the requirements of at least 3 PMC members with +1 votes and has the required majority of +1 votes.
Apache Geode {ver}.RC{n} has passed the vote and we will finalize the release shortly.
Thanks everyone for the great work!
-{Release Manager} |
If not enough votes are received, the release manager may, at their discretion, extend the voting deadline, or abandon the release.
If the voting is successful, proceed to the next section. If showstopper issues were raised, create a new release candidate. If the release is to be abandoned, destroy any staged artifacts in nexus and svn.
Finalizing (shipping) the Release
Promote the release candidate to official release
Once a release candidate has been approved:
- Click 'Release' in http://repository.apache.org/ (pictured below step 7)
- Make sure you have forked https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core (click the
Fork
button in top-right corner) - Make sure you have forked https://github.com/apache/geode-native
- Make sure you have forked https://github.com/apache/geode
- Make sure you can run
docker
info
anddocker
images
. On Linux, you may need to addsudo
before each docker command in the promote_rc script and/orsudo usermod -aG docker $USER
From the same directory you ran the previous release scripts, run the promote_rc script (note: you must be a Geode PMC member to svn commit to dist/release/geode):
Code Block geode/dev-tools/release/promote_rc.sh -v 1.13.0.RC1 -k last_8_digits_of_your_gpg_key -g your_github_username
- The "next steps" printed at the end of the promote_rc script will walk you through the remaining tasks to validate the docker image, update Jira, make the brew PR, then finalize the release, followed by the contents of the announce email (also copied to your clipboard, if you have
pbcopy
installed). You can also (re)generate the email later usinggeode/dev-tools/release/print_announce_email.sh
. It's ok to start on the steps below while you are waiting for promote_rc to finish.
Mark the version as released in Jira
- Go to https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/GEODE?selectedItem=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin:release-page
- Click on the
...
to get the Actions pop-up menu for the version you are releasing - Click Release (note: you must be in the Jira Administrators group to do this, ask on the dev list if you are not).
- While you're in there, add the next patch release (i.e. if you are releasing x . y . n, add x . y . n+1)
Transition JIRA issues fixed in this release from Resolved → Closed
- List all the JIRAs with fix version as the release version and status as resolved.
- Using bulk operations → transition to closed state.
Publish to GitHub
Locate (but do not click on) the row with the final release tag (e.g.
rel/v1.13.0
)Click on the 2nd "..." menu (the one to the right of the Verified bubble), then Create release.
- "Existing tag" should be selected.
- Fill in Release Title e.g.
Apache Geode 1.13.0
. Describe the release:
Copy the summary sentence from the release notes.
Add the SHA256 (e.g. from the directory you ran the release scripts,
cat release-1.13.0-workspace/geode/geode-assembly/build/distributions/apache-geode-1.13.0.tgz.sha256
).Add a link to the release notes. Example:
Code Block title Sample Release Description This release contains some new gfsh commands and support for SNI as well as a number of improvements and bug fixes. sha256 for apache-geode-1.13.0.tgz is 8caf6dcafa5c6bb7c10dc7d512d0569dd16e463e01c18997118e20a5f43e6097 See full release notes at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-1.13.0
- Click where it says "Attach binaries" and upload the Apache Geode .tgz (found in the directory you ran the release scripts under
release-1.13.0-workspace/geode/geode-assembly/build/distributions/apache-geode-1.13.0.tgz
) - Click the green Publish Release button.
Publish javadocs and documentation to the website
Ask on the dev list if you need help with these steps.
Keep only the latest patch release of each of the 3 most recent minors (including the one you're about to release) on https://geode.apache.org/releases/
- Build website from sources as described in geode-site/website/README.md.
- In the generated site, create the directory geode-site/content/releases/latest.
- Obtain a copy of the javadoc directory from the binary release and put it in the geode-site/content/releases/latest directory (link from the website's Docs landing page points to ../releases/latest/javadoc).
- Deploy the generated site by checking it into the asf-site branch of the apache-geode repo.
Final checks
(note: These steps are also covered by the "Final steps" printed at the end of promote_rc
)
Confirm that your brew PR has been merged or closed and
brew install apache-geode

Ask for a volunteer to update dependencies on develop (major/minor only)
Now is the best time to bump dependency versions on develop for the various 3rd-party libraries used by Geode. Start a DISCUSS thread asking for a volunteer to lead this effort.

Hello Apache Geode Community,
It's time to update the 3rd-party libraries used by GEODE. We need a volunteer to take on this responsibility.
https://github.com/apache/geode/blob/develop/dev-tools/dependencies/README.md describes how to carry out this task.
It would be awesome to get this done within the next few weeks, to allow plenty of time to shake out any issues before the next release.
Regards,
{Release Manager} on behalf of the Apache Geode team |
Remove old unsupported branches (major/minor only)
Geode's N-2 support policy allows patch releases to be proposed for its 3 most recent minors, e.g. on the day 1.15.0 is released, 1.12 would become no longer supported. But this is not set in stone, so it's probably wise to start a discussion on the dev list before just running this command!
- remove 1.<N-3> support branch, pipelines and RC tags:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
geode/dev-tools/release/end_of_support.sh -v 1.{N-3} |
Note tha end_of_support is a destructive command. It will prompt you to continue, then will delete the branch and pipeline. If run by accident, these can be restored by re-flying the pipeline and re-pushing the branch (if you or someone has an up-to-date local copy, otherwise google git reflog
for more ways to recover a deleted branch).
Send the announce mail
The template for this email was output at the end of promote_rc
, or you can re-generate it using geode/dev-tools/release/print_announce_email.sh
. Consider customizing the generated text if there are more upcoming releases (or even waiting and combining the announcements) or if there are notable fixes worth highlighting after the generic "contains a number of fixes".
*** Important: Send the email from your apache email ID*** (otherwise announce@apache.org will bounce. See https://infra.apache.org/committer-email.html for how to send email from your apache email address)
*** Important: Send the email as plain text***(otherwise announce@apache.org will reject the email. If using gmail, at the bottom of the compose window, click the three-dot menu then click Plain text mode)
Example:
To: user@geode.apache.org, announce@apache.org, dev@geode.apache.org

- Publish the develop branch to origin
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
git add .
git commit -a -m "Upgraded version number for releasing 1.x.x"
pit push origin develop |
Creating the release candidate:
...
Clean the directory
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
git clean -fdx |
Edit ~/.gradle/gradle.properties with your PGP key and ASF LDAP information:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
signing.keyId=01234567 # Your GPG key ID, as 8 hex digits
signing.secretKeyRingFile=/path/to/secring.gpg # Normally in $HOME/.gnupg/secring.gpg
nexusUsername=yourname # Your username on Apache's LDAP |
...
Clean and build the artifacts. Run this command on a machine using GUI as you will be prompted to enter PGP and ASF LDAP password (Apache password). You will see messages like "Could not find metadata org.apache.geode:geode-cq/maven-metadata.xml" on your terminal. Ignore them.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
./gradlew clean build uploadArchives -Paskpass
#Sometime there may be an issue with gradle not picking up the credentials put in ~/.gradle/gradle.properties.
# work around is to create a new directory somewhere eg. ~/gradle_home then create a new file in it called gradle.properties
# Then run the command as ./gradlew --gradle-user-home=~/gradle_home clean build uploadArchives -Paskpass |
Copy and release artifacts to ASF dist repo. DO NOT DELETE THE FOLDERS CREATED IN THIS STEP - THEY ARE NEEDED FOR THE FINAL RELEASE.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
#create a new empty directory
svn checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist --depth empty
svn update --set-depth infinity --parents dist/dev/geode
svn update --set-depth infinity --parents dist/release/geode
cd dist/dev/geode
# copy the KEYS file from the apache-geode release branch folder in your system.
cp ${GEODE_SRC}/KEYS .
svn commit -m "Updating Apache Geode KEYS file"
mkdir {version}.RC#
cp ${GEODE_SRC}/geode-assembly/build/distributions/* {version}.RC#
svn add {version}.RC#
svn commit -m "Releasing Apache Geode {version}.RC# distribution" |
...
In the release branch folder tag the commit. All Release Candidates start with the number 1 eg. RC1. Be careful as rel/ folder is protected, once we push the release tag to server, it cannot be modified. Any other change will have to be moved to the next RC number.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
git tag -s rel/v{version}.RC# -m "Release candidate # for 1.0.0"
git push origin rel/v{version}.RC# |
Now checkout the repo for geode-examples and create a release branch.
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
git checkout -b release/{version} |
Update the version number in gradle.properties of geode-examples
Code Block |
---|
version = 1.7.0
geodeVersion = 1.7.0 |
In the geode-examples folder, build and run it with the apache-geode version that was uploaded to the ASF dist repo.
Code Block |
---|
# first build the release artifacts, specifying the RC release location and staging repository
./gradlew -PsignArchives -PgeodeReleaseUrl=https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/geode/{version}.RC# -PgeodeRepositoryUrl=https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachegeode-{NNNN} build runAll
#if all tests pass then continue ahead, else kindly fix the issues |
If there are no failures, then upload the artifacts to ASF dist repo using the folder created in step 6
Code Block |
---|
# then upload the release artifacts for distribution
# go to the folder created in step 6 and copy the geode-example artifacts to it
cd dist/dev/geode
cp ${GEODE_EXAMPLES_SRC}/build/distributions/* {version}.RC#
svn add {version}.RC#/apache-geode-examples-*
svn commit -m "Adding examples to Apache Geode {version}.RC# distribution" |
Tag the release candidate in geode-examples.
Code Block |
---|
# then tag the release candidate commit
cd ${GEODE_EXAMPLES_SRC}
git tag -s rel/v{version}.RC# -m "Release candidate # for 1.0.0"
git push origin rel/v{version}.RC# |
Info |
---|
If you are running on linux, you may see this error message: error: gpg failed to sign the data error: unable to sign the tag If you get that error message, try to sign some random file so that gpg will unlock your keyring. After that the git tag -s should work. |
Update the version in geode-example develop branch.
Update the version in gradle.properties to the next release's snapshot
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|

version = 1.9.0-SNAPSHOT
geodeVersion = 1.9.0-SNAPTSHOT |

The Apache Geode community is pleased to announce the availability of Apache Geode {version e.g. 1.13.0}. Apache Geode is a data management platform that provides a database-like consistency model, reliable transaction processing and a shared-nothing architecture to maintain very low latency performance with high concurrency processing. Geode {version. Geode {version e.g. 1.13.0} contains a number of improvements and bug fixes. It includes performance improvements in OQL order-by and distinct queries in client/server when security is enabled. New GFSH commands were added to get/set cluster config and to destroy gateway receivers. A new post processor was added to the new client protocol. Pulse now supports legacy SSL options. Auto-reconnecting members no more reuse old addresses and IDs. Duplicated or member-specific receivers are removed from cluster config during rolling upgrades. Users are encouraged to upgrade to the latest release. For the full list of changes please review the release notes: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GEODE/ Release+Notes#ReleaseNotes-{version e.g. 1.13.0} The release artifacts can be downloaded from the project website: httphttps://geode.apache.org/releases/ The release documentation is available at: httphttps://geode.apache.org/docs/guide/{version eg. in the format as 17 or 18 or 19113}/about_geode.html We would like to thank all the contributors that made the release possible.
