Question 1

What happens when Apache Hop reaches end of life?

Accepted Answer

When Apache Hop reaches end of life, it stops receiving security patches, bug fixes, and new features. Currently, 20 Apache Hop versions are already EOL. The latest supported version is Apache Hop 2.17. Running an EOL version exposes your systems to unpatched security vulnerabilities with no official fix available.

Question 2

Is Apache Hop 2.17 still supported?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Apache Hop 2.17 is actively supported. It receives security patches and bug fixes. Check the version table above for the full list of supported Apache Hop releases and their exact end-of-life dates.

Question 3

Is it safe to use Apache Hop after end of life?

Accepted Answer

No. Running Apache Hop after EOL is not safe for production systems. Once a version reaches end of life, newly discovered CVEs are published publicly but never patched — leaving your systems permanently exposed. The only safe path is upgrading to an actively supported Apache Hop release.

Question 4

How to upgrade from Apache Hop 2.16 to Apache Hop 2.x?

Accepted Answer

To upgrade Apache Hop from 2.16 to 2.17: (1) review the official migration guide for breaking changes, (2) test your application against the new version in a staging environment, (3) update dependencies that have version constraints, (4) run your full test suite, (5) deploy with a rollback plan. The earlier you start, the more time you have to resolve compatibility issues before EOL.

Question 5

When is the next Apache Hop LTS version?

Accepted Answer

Not all Apache Hop releases have a designated LTS status. Check the version table above — LTS releases are marked with an "LTS" badge. Refer to the official Apache Hop release policy for information on upcoming long-term support versions.

Question 6

How long does Apache Hop support each version?

Accepted Answer

On average, Apache Hop supports each release for approximately 3 months (~0.3 years).  The exact EOL date for each version is listed in the table above.
