It’s time to send our quarterly report to the ASF board on August 9th. Here’s what I wrote as a draft — feel free to suggest changes.
============================= Issues for the board: - None Project status: - We cut the branch Spark 3.5.0 on July 17th 2023. The community is working on bug fixes, tests, stability and documentation. - We made a patch release, Spark 3.4.1, on June 23, 2023. - We are preparing a Spark 3.3.3 release for later this month (https://lists.apache.org/thread/0kgnw8njjnfgc5nghx60mn7oojvrqwj7). - Votes on three Spark Project Improvement Proposals (SPIP) passed: "XML data source support", "Python Data Source API", and "PySpark Test Framework". - A vote for "Apache Spark PMC asks Databricks to differentiate its Spark version string" did not pass. This was asking a company to change the string returned by Spark APIs in a product that packages a modified version of Apache Spark. - The community decided to release Apache Spark 4.0.0 after the 3.5.0 version. - An official Apache Spark Docker image is now available at https://hub.docker.com/_/spark - A new repository, https://github.com/apache/spark-connect-go, was created for the Go client of Spark Connect. - The PMC voted to add two new committers to the project, XiDuo You and Peter Toth Trademarks: - No changes since the last report. Latest releases: - We released Apache Spark 3.4.1 on June 23, 2023 - We released Apache Spark 3.2.4 on April 13, 2023 - We released Spark 3.3.2 on February 17, 2023 Committers and PMC: - The latest committers were added on July 11th, 2023 (XiDuo You and Peter Toth). - The latest PMC members were added on May 10th, 2023 (Chao Sun, Xinrong Meng and Ruifeng Zheng). ============================= --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org
