Hibernate ORM 5.2.18 to be the last in 5.2 series?
by Gail Badner
Now that 5.3 is out and is in the the process of being stabilized, and
active development is shifting to 6.0, it seems like a good time to wrap up
work on the 5.2 series.
Chris mentioned that he is planning to release 5.2.18 on Thursday.
Does anyone have a compelling reason why we should continue beyond 5.2.18?

Changes to the JIRA "Pull request sent" status
by Guillaume Smet
Hi,
A few months back, when an issue was in the "Pull request sent" status, it
was considered "In progress" and appeared here:
https://hibernate.atlassian.net/projects/HV/versions/30000/tab/release-re...
.
This apparently got broken at some point (or someone changed it without
asking).
My personal preference is to consider the issues with pull requests as In
progress instead of To do and it seems more logical as, as soon as you have
a PR, the issue is definitely in progress.
I applied this change as it's a simple one (it's not a workflow change,
it's just marking "Pull request sent" as a "In progress" status) and IMHO
it was a regression.
If someone is against it and it was an intentional change, please speak up.

[NoORM] A simpler README.md?
by Yoann Rodiere
Hi everyone,
TL;DR: I would like to strip down the README in Hibernate Search to
redirect users to the website, which is better suited for presenting
available versions, and helping users to get started. See what I mean in this
PR <https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-search/pull/1692>. Any
objections?
Currently, the README.md in NoORM projects duplicates a bit of information
from our website and documentation:
- The version number and date of the latest release:
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-search#hibernate-search vs.
http://hibernate.org/search/releases/
- A description of the project:
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-search#description vs.
http://hibernate.org/search/
- The requirements:
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-search#requirements vs.
http://hibernate.org/search/releases/#compatibility-matrix or
http://hibernate.org/search/releases/5.10/#compatibility
- Installation instructions:
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-search#maven +
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-search#sourceforge-bundle vs.
http://hibernate.org/search/releases/5.10/#get-it or
http://hibernate.org/search/documentation/getting-started/
Some of this information is updated manually when we don'r forget about it,
and some of it (the latest release) is updated automatically when we
perform a release on master.
As a result, from time to time the information is not in sync. Right now,
in Search, the version displayed in the README is 5.10.0.Final, whereas the
latest release is 5.10.1.Final and the master branch hosts the
5.11.0-SNAPSHOT code. This is because the release scripts do not update
master when we release from another branch, and we have to do it manually
(that's expected: doing otherwise would be too complex).
Also, the information is partial:
- the README currently completely hides the fact that other Hibernate
Search versions are still maintained and can work well with older versions
of Hibernate ORM.
- whenever the latest release is an alpha/beta/CR, we usually display
installation instructions for the latest development version, and
completely hide information about the latest stable version.
What's worse, keeping the documentation on branch master the README on
branch master may prove confusing: the README refers to the latest release,
but the rest of the code may have been updated since the latest release,
sometimes significantly so. We will have trouble dealing with this when we
merge Hibernate Search 6, in particular.
We may not agree on what is the best solution, but let's at least agree
this is not ideal, especially when it comes to informing users about the
stable version they want to use.
We could put in more effort, try our very best to keep everything in sync
and as complete as possible/necessary. Add more documentation about the
release process. Try our best to do less mistakes. We could. But obviously,
nobody is perfect, and so never will this README.
Other projects, such as Spring Boot (
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot) or, more relevantly,
Hibernate ORM (https://github.com/hwithibernate/hibernate-orm
<https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm>), simply do not refer to the
latest version in their README, and redirect to their website for all
version-specific information. The README focuses on presenting the project,
redirecting users to the website, and giving contributor-friendly
information.
I find this solution both elegant and powerful. Presenting the project is
always necessary, but guiding users to the right version and giving getting
started instructions is something complex, and something we already do on
our website. So why not redirect people there? All links stay valid and
relevant as long as the website is up and kept updated, and the impact of
maintainers forgetting to update the README is far smaller. One less thing
to worry about for maintainers, and better guidance for prospective users.
A simple link to the getting started guide could be enough for most users,
but we can go a step further and offer additional links. I just sent a pull
request to show how I see it implemented in Search; please let me know what
you think.
The PR: https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-search/pull/1692

Hi Tom,
I'm not sure either, let's test it after 5.3.2.Final is released -
likely we won't need to make any changes to the quickstarts.
@All:
For Hibernate Search, Thorntail, and Infinispan I already did the
upgrade and they come with custom JTA platform providers to dodge the
incompatibility.
The same trick wasn't possible with OGM as we test interactions with
the transaction system in many more subtle ways; I decided it wasn't
worth the effort of introducing all the scaffolding as we can just
wait for ORM 5.3.2 instead.
Thanks,
Sanne

Health check status API
by Sanne Grinovero
It was suggested to me that Hibernate ORM could help people developing
microservices on Kubernetes / Openshift by making "health checks"
easier.
In short, how to expose to some management API that we're being able
to connect to the database and do our usual things.
This could be done by connection pools as well but I suspect there
could be benefits in exposing this information in a unified way at an
higher level API; also on top of using ad-hoc specific connection
APIs, or Dialect specific instructions, I guess we could monitor
timeout exceptions, etc.. happening on the application sessions.
Wrote some notes on:
- https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-12655
Probably best to explore this in ORM first, but then Search and OGM
could expose/implement it too for their respective services?
Or maybe people would prefer to just run a query?
Thanks,
Sanne
