Add Maxmind discontinuation notice to the README #36

Closed miike closed 6 years ago

miike commented 6 years ago

We will be discontinuing updates to the GeoLite Legacy databases as of April 1, 2018. You will still be able to download the April 2018 release until January 2, 2019. GeoLite Legacy users will need to update their integrations in order to switch to the free GeoLite2 or commercial GeoIP databases by April 2018.

Full notice is here and blog post here - it looks like this will primarily impact those using .dat files.

the library has been updated to geolite2 in #35 if I'm not mistaken

miike commented 6 years ago

Yes! More a note of should we include warnings/have a deprecation schedule for anyone using the legacy files?

BenFradet commented 6 years ago

Do you mean for the library itself or through an enrich job?

miike commented 6 years ago

Perhaps both so that Snowplow users and those who use the library independently of enrich know about it?

BenFradet commented 6 years ago

Good point we could create a discourse post discussing it for Snowplow users and add a warning in the readme of this project for people using previous versions.
