What is Apache HertzBeat?

HertzBeat's 1.9.0 is on its second release candidate, and the feed still skips 1.8.0.

HertzBeat's tracked entries are mostly release candidates. v1.9.0-rc1 in July split hertzbeat-common into core and Spring modules and carried monitoring template fixes and internationalization work. v1.9.0-rc2 in September is titled only by its one visible change, a fix that makes the Windows native collector start. The 1.8.0 release referenced in rc1's own notes never appears in the feed.

Apache Cloudberry vs Apache HertzBeat: editorial side-by-side

A5.0

Apache Cloudberry is three release candidates into 2.2.0.

◆ Current state

Apache Cloudberry is an open-source MPP analytics database in the Apache Incubator, derived from Greenplum. The 2.2.0 release has gone through rc1 (September 3), rc2 (October 7) and rc3 (October 20), with no release notes attached to the later candidates. 2.1.0 shipped in May after two candidates.

◆ Where it's heading

Each release goes through two or three candidates and ASF votes; 2.0.0 also needed three. The gap between feature releases has been roughly six to eight months.

◆ Prediction

2.2.0 final is likely after the rc3 vote, if no further candidate is needed. The entries do not list 2.2.0's feature content.

A0.0

HertzBeat's 1.9.0 is on its second release candidate, and the feed still skips 1.8.0.

◆ Current state

HertzBeat's tracked entries are mostly release candidates. v1.9.0-rc1 in July split hertzbeat-common into core and Spring modules and carried monitoring template fixes and internationalization work. v1.9.0-rc2 in September is titled only by its one visible change, a fix that makes the Windows native collector start. The 1.8.0 release referenced in rc1's own notes never appears in the feed.

◆ Where it's heading

The 1.9.0 cycle is moving slowly, about seven weeks between candidates, and the rc2 fix points at native collector builds as current work. The release record stays thin, so most of what changes has to be read from the repository.

◆ Prediction

A 1.9.0 final or a further candidate is the next likely entry; nothing in the feed suggests timing.
