That’s not necessarily bad. I don’t know if we have plan to ever release any new 2.2.x, 2.3.x at this point and we can message this “supported version” of python change for any new 2.4 release.
Besides we could still support python 3.4 - it’s just more complicated to test manually without Jenkins coverage. ________________________________ From: shane knapp <skn...@berkeley.edu> Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2019 12:11 PM To: Bryan Cutler Cc: dev Subject: Re: Upgrading minimal PyArrow version to 0.12.x [SPARK-27276] i'm pretty certain that i've got a solid python 3.5 conda environment ready to be deployed, but this isn't a minor change to the build system and there might be some bugs to iron out. another problem is that the current python 3.4 environment is hard-coded in to the both the build scripts on jenkins (all over the place) and in the codebase (thankfully in only one spot): export PATH=/home/anaconda/envs/py3k/bin:$PATH this means that every branch (master, 2.x, etc) will test against whatever version of python lives in that conda environment. if we upgrade to 3.5, all branches will test against this version. changing the build and test infra to support testing against 2.7, 3.4 or 3.5 based on branch is definitely non-trivial... thoughts?

Here is a link to the JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27276. Shane is also correct in that newer versions of pyarrow have stopped support for Python 3.4, so we should probably have Jenkins test against 2.7 and 3.5.

Is this for Spark 3.0 or for 2.x? Certainly, requiring the latest for Spark 3 seems right.
