[teiid-dev] Teiid 8.4 status

[Steven Hawkins]

So we are nearing when a candidate release is needed.  Here's my breakdown of the current issues:

Mostly Complete:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2471 pluggable permissions
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2329 mongodb
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2462 ws-security payload (not committed)

Non-blocking or supplemental project issues that will be pushed to 8.4.1 if not resolved (unless someone says otherwise):
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2451 rhq tweak
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2398 web console vdb display issue
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2472 new security quickstart
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2390 xml/json production improvements (should push today to 8.4.1)
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2424 osgi bundles (should push today to 8.5?)

Features/Enhancements Not Yet Started:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2381 expanded source hint
- I believe this to be important for the 8.4 release as there are multiple users looking for this functionality.  Delaying the CR until Friday should give me enough time to get an initial implementation in.
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2139 common expression caching
- Given the complexity and other issues superseding this one, I would vote for pushing to 8.5
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2336 arraytable pushdown 
- I vote for pushing to 8.5

Remaining Issues:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2480 script issue (not really our problem)
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2507 better lookup / mat view scoping - ideally this should be worked prior to final and should lessen the need for TEIID-2139
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-2483 admin api domain error

Let me know if you have any thoughts or want to do a meetup to synch up as well.
