[dpdk-dev] [RFC] Proposal to remove EXPERIMENTAL label from compressdev API

[Trahe, Fiona]

Hi all,
Taking into account

-          some discussions I had in Bordeaux

-          how difficult it will be to API/ABI breakage in non-experimental APIs future

-          the proposed ARM compression PMD for LZ4 - which may discover a need for API change

-          the absence of anyone crying out for the label to be removed
I'm going to defer this proposal until a later release.

Subject: [RFC] Proposal to remove EXPERIMENTAL label from compressdev API

Hi all,

Just putting it out there that the DPDK compressdev API has been available since 18.05, has had minimal change in recent releases and can be considered mature enough to have the experimental label removed.
I'd like to make this change in the 19.11 release.

Opinions?

Regards,
Fiona
