MongoDB 4.2 EOL April 2023 - What's Next?

[luongjames8]

I recently received a email from MongoDB reminding that my 4.2 cluster will be reaching EOL in April 2023. I am sure I am not the only one who received this...

@jamesblackburn -What's the plan here? Will we need to request an extension from Mongo to continue running 4.2? Is there any roadmap to when if at all you will support 4.4 or 5.0? Per #938 a 4.4 or 5.0 version doesn't seem to be close?

Will we need to plan to move to the S3 version? What's going on here?

Some clarity here would help... as the date is approaching real fast.

Btw - Thanks for the v1.80.5

@bmoscon any one else can shed some light here?

Hi there we are currently testing against Mongo 4.2.22 and plan to upgrade thru 4.x to 5.x as quickly as we can. If you are interested in a S3 backend with the same arctic API have you seen our new project: https://www.man.com/arcticdb Thanks Duncan On 4 Nov 2022, at 01:37, luongjames8 ***@***.***> wrote:  @bmoscon<https://github.com/bmoscon> any one else can shed some light here? — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub<#970 (comment)>, or unsubscribe<https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AA7RFW7TM6W6HYL6RV34AWLWGRSGRANCNFSM6AAAAAARTRILFQ>.

If you are interested in a S3 backend with the same arctic API have you seen our new project: https://www.man.com/arcticdb

Front page of that URL should say:

Easy install: pip install arcticdb

Thanks, Duncan. Is there a target release date for Mongo 4.4 version?

Do you all recommend that we ask for extensions on Mongo 4.2 cluster? There will be an automatic roll forward on the cluster to 4.4 on 30 April 2023 unless we ask them for some kind of extension.

Thanks for the S3 project link. I did a search for the S3 version previously on github previously but couldn't find anything.

Whats the development timeline on S3 arctic going to be vis-a-vis the legacy mongo versions? Will the updates to support mongodb > 4.4 be released before the S3 one?

Sounds like we can at least expect mongo arctic to be maintained through Mongo 5.x before EOL?

Seeing that in the link you provided it actually says pip install arctic for installing S3 backend, no db at end.
So currently which version does pip install arctic install? MongoDB version or S3 version?

Also is there any documentation on how to configure the S3 version? How will be S3 version be provided? will it be open-source?

Thanks a lot!

@luongjames8 The tests are all passing with mongo 4.4.18 I haven't done a release yet, but the changes are merged into master. Hope that helps.
