I submitted the news, sorry if I spoiled the announcement! ;) But as soon as I received the news, and these are definitely good news, I wanted to share it with the HN crowd :) BTW, is item #8 (or any other, for that matter) an alternative to having to use .pgpass? Because this is a notable itch towards automation of Citus, would be great to see this resolved in the open source version. Congratulations for the commit!

as soon as I received the news, and these are definitely good news, I wanted to share it with the HN crowd It's a natural impulse but somewhat counterintuitively https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=by%3Adang%20%22no%20harm%20in%20waiting%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... One way to think of it is as repetition-prevention since a big enough story is going to end up on the front page one way or the other.

  I don't see this an "announcement of an announcement", as there's concrete and detailed content about the announcement itself. You can read the commit message and even the source code. Moreover, I'm not affiliated with Citus and I don't know if they are planning later on an official announcement or not. I stand by the idea of sharing these good news at the earliest for everyone interested to know, look at the code, and plan ahead of time if they need/want to.

    I didn't say it was an 'announcement of an announcement' just that this the idea of sharing these good news at the earliest isn't really HN's remit, despite the 'news' in the name. The actual announcement is going to get posted as well and dupe-debated, etc. So there's no harm in waiting.

      > I didn't say it was an 'announcement of an announcement' just that this But it appears you didn't consider the following part of my comment, where I explained that a) I didn't have any way to know there would be a later announcement; and b) that there's enough interesting information with the current news that is worthwhile to many (definitely was for me), so there's no reason for holding it.

        The important thing is the idea that it's important that something show up on HN asap is not accurate, it's not HN's thing, there's no harm in waiting as you can see in 9523772353.33 moderator comments. I didn't have any way to know I mean, they weren't going to keep it secret. Anyway, let's wrap up here.

Yes, pg_dist_authinfo is an easier to use alternative to .pgpass. And no worries about spoiling the announcement a bit. Seeing this on the frontpage of HN made my day!

This is the release announcement with more details on the open sourced things and all the other totally new features: https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2022/06/17/citus-11-goes-fully-open-source/ https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2022/06/17/citus-11-goes-full...
