Jinmei, thank you for that. Whilst I believe supporting existing users custom formats sound nice, it does complicate the whole process too much. As can be seen from the example code that I posted, the test is already retrieving the wrong artifact name, as there is no way to determine what the correct format should be if there are many.
I think it is reasonable to standardize on a format. Document said format and then apply the pattern consistently. Then adding that to the notes. It even simplifies the logic where we have to deal with non-versioned jars and we then append the ".v + {version}" to make sure we can handle versions, etc... As this can now be adapted to "abc.jar" being converted to "abc-1.0.0.jar". Thus being able to add a version to an unversioned jar. In addition a standard way to determine a version,etc... As I said, unfortunately the is no simple way to deal with this transition and transitioning to a standard by ripping off the bandaid in one go is sometime preferable. --Udo On 10/8/20, 9:25 AM, "Jinmei Liao" <jil...@vmware.com> wrote: Wait, that reason doesn't make much sense either.

Most probably drive by user's existing filenames. I believe we are probably concerned that user's jar name might contain "_" or "-" themselves, like common-logging.jar etc. So we had to resort to finding the first "." followed by a digit to determine where the version pattern begins.

According to the JarDeployerFileTest.java<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fapache%2Fgeode%2Fblob%2Fdevelop%2Fgeode-core%2Fsrc%2FintegrationTest%2Fjava%2Forg%2Fapache%2Fgeode%2Finternal%2FJarDeployerFileTest.java&data=02%7C01%7Cudo%40vmware.com%7C1393e334db5440233f5108d86b0fd4c6%7Cb39138ca3cee4b4aa4d6cd83d9dd62f0%7C0%7C0%7C637377063031152342&sdata=SD6wNi7o6Fk5mPQAa%2B141u8MkK%2Bh1j6d2sgdnzjfkMI%3D&reserved=0> the “supported” formats are as follows: assertThat(JarDeployer.getArtifactId("abc.jar")).isEqualTo("abc"); assertThat(JarDeployer.getArtifactId("abc-1.jar")).isEqualTo("abc"); assertThat(JarDeployer.getArtifactId("ab.c.1.jar")).isEqualTo("ab.c"); assertThat(JarDeployer.getArtifactId("abc.v1.jar")).isEqualTo("abc.v1"); assertThat(JarDeployer.getArtifactId("abc-1.0.snapshot.jar")).isEqualTo("abc"); assertThat(JarDeployer.getArtifactId("abc-1.0.v1.jar")).isEqualTo("abc"); assertThat(JarDeployer.getArtifactId("spark-network-common_2.11-2.3.1.jar")) .isEqualTo("spark-network-common_2"); Which don’t make any sense. As the generally accepted norm for a version jar file would be: “<artifact name>[ - <major> . <minor> . <patch> - <Release Tag> ] .jar”. (note the syntax in red) I want to suggest that we DISCONTINUE supporting all jar name formats other than the one mentioned above IMMEDIATELY. As the supported name format is just “funky” but also wrong and can lead to misclassification of the artifact name…. as some of you with a keen eye would have spotted already 😉 For those who did not spot the mistake… “spark-network-common_2.11-2.3.1.jar” is incorrectly classified and has the WRONG artifact name. As “spark-network-common_2.11” is the correct artifact name NOT “spark-network-common_2”! I would like to introduce this change with GEODE-8466<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fissues.apache.org%2Fjira%2Fbrowse%2FGEODE-8466&data=02%7C01%7Cudo%40vmware.com%7C1393e334db5440233f5108d86b0fd4c6%7Cb39138ca3cee4b4aa4d6cd83d9dd62f0%7C0%7C0%7C637377063031152342&sdata=kBrNxX9m%2BkOVheEcxSlMZq1%2F1RJQut8EgbYUhdo5WZQ%3D&reserved=0>. This would be a “breaking” change, but we should change this sooner than later. There is no transition ability here, as it would be too hard to have Geode support both, as there is no simple way for the system to decide if the name conforms to the “correct” format or not.
