Apache Cloudberry vs OpenSearch Dashboards: at a glance
What is Apache Cloudberry?
Apache Cloudberry is three release candidates into 2.2.0.
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.
What is OpenSearch Dashboards?
This feed samples OpenSearch Dashboards; its latest entry is a 2.19.7 notes commit.
The feed carries release-branch commits rather than release notes, so the visible record is five entries from July 2025 to October 2026. The latest, on October 16, adds release notes for 2.19.7, which shows the 2.19 maintenance line is still being patched alongside 3.x. Before that, the 3.8.0 notes commit in July and Vega CVE fixes on 2.19 are the only substantive items.

Apache Cloudberry
5.0ANALYTICS
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.
OpenSearch Dashboards
2.5ANALYTICS
This feed samples OpenSearch Dashboards; its latest entry is a 2.19.7 notes commit.
◆ Current state
The feed carries release-branch commits rather than release notes, so the visible record is five entries from July 2025 to October 2026. The latest, on October 16, adds release notes for 2.19.7, which shows the 2.19 maintenance line is still being patched alongside 3.x. Before that, the 3.8.0 notes commit in July and Vega CVE fixes on 2.19 are the only substantive items.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2.19 line keeps getting maintenance releases while 3.x moves on. The feed is too sparse to show what either line is shipping.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 2.19.x and 3.x notes commits; what they contain is unclear from this feed.
