[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIID-3462) Add support for semantic versioning of VDBs

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-3462?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Ramesh Reddy commented on TEIID-3462: ------------------------------------- I am not saying to deprecate current version number, nor I am saying making semantic version a first class feature, this is optional feature for select "few" users who want this feature. Disrupting all the other users based on this does not seem like good idea to me. We do not have clue how user's individual current work flows have used or not used current version system. Your comment about auto-increment makes logical sense, I remember from MM days once we tried the auto-increment of the version upon the deployment and that was failure, because it caused more confusion about what was the target version number allocated, how that can be communicated to the client etc and eventually that got removed. This I like, but my argument is why not push them towards a 3 or 6 digit number in version, which gives same features without any changes? To me this is just a "made up" requirement, that does not really provide any advantages, the semantic version is always defined by a user and current scheme allows user in using the current revision in that way if they choose to do it. If you feel strongly that we need to move this direction, then the only option I would advocate is changing the version to string field, and leave everything as is, and the semantics of defining the version to the user completely as you were suggesting in previous comments. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
