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.
Apache SeaTunnel
0.0ANALYTICS
SeaTunnel 3.0 ends a six-month gap with 927 PRs and 30 new connectors.
◆ Current state
Apache SeaTunnel shipped 3.0.0 on 30 September, its first release since March: 927 merged PRs, 30 new connectors (BigQuery, Salesforce, Google and TikTok Ads, Stripe, Shopify, Mem0, Deep Lake and more), a Python transform, PostgreSQL CDC add-column schema evolution and connectivity dry-runs for S3 and Kafka sources. The prior 2.3.13 release made large files splittable across readers.
◆ Where it's heading
The connector catalogue is moving beyond databases and file stores into SaaS APIs and ad platforms, plus vector and memory stores. Schema evolution in CDC sources keeps widening, one database at a time, and the major version resets expectations after a lengthening release interval.
◆ Prediction
Expect 3.0.x patch releases fixing the new connectors, given how much landed in one version.
