Apache Cloudberry vs OpenHouse: at a glance
What is Apache Cloudberry?
Apache Cloudberry ships 2.2.0 after three release candidates.
Apache Cloudberry is an open-source MPP analytics database in the Apache Incubator, derived from Greenplum. 2.2.0-incubating went final on November 3 after rc1 (September 3), rc2 (October 7) and rc3 (October 20). The release entry carries no notes of its own.
What is OpenHouse?
OpenHouse adds time-zone-aware retention and per-database table caps.
OpenHouse ships small versioned releases straight from merged pull requests. On November 13 it shipped five: retention policies on string date columns can now take a time zone, operators can cap live tables per database with metrics on usage and rejections, view requests and operations are now audited in full, and two fixes make view property SET/UNSET and REPLACE behave. Earlier in November failed Spark maintenance jobs began exiting as failed.

Apache Cloudberry
5.0ANALYTICS
Apache Cloudberry ships 2.2.0 after three release candidates.
◆ Current state
Apache Cloudberry is an open-source MPP analytics database in the Apache Incubator, derived from Greenplum. 2.2.0-incubating went final on November 3 after rc1 (September 3), rc2 (October 7) and rc3 (October 20). The release entry carries no notes of its own.
◆ Where it's heading
The project now ships on a roughly six-month cycle (2.0 in September 2025, 2.1 in May, 2.2 in November), each going through two or three voted candidates. The process is steady; what changed in 2.2 isn't visible in these entries.
◆ Prediction
A 2.3.0 rc1 is the next likely tag, probably in early 2027 if the cadence holds.
OpenHouse
5.0ANALYTICS
OpenHouse adds time-zone-aware retention and per-database table caps.
◆ Current state
OpenHouse ships small versioned releases straight from merged pull requests. On November 13 it shipped five: retention policies on string date columns can now take a time zone, operators can cap live tables per database with metrics on usage and rejections, view requests and operations are now audited in full, and two fixes make view property SET/UNSET and REPLACE behave. Earlier in November failed Spark maintenance jobs began exiting as failed.
◆ Where it's heading
OpenHouse is adding the controls a shared lakehouse needs at scale: quotas, audit trails and retention that matches business calendars. Views are getting the same governance tables already had.
◆ Prediction
Expect more views milestones after audit (the release is labeled Views M1), and further operator controls for quotas and maintenance.
