hi everyone, With the number of items that are still up in the air for 0.8.0, and the fact that it would be great to get the Java vector refactor into the release, I would propose we continue pushing development until the end of next week, i.e. through ~ Friday November 17. I have also been traveling and have not been able to write as many patches as I would like.
It might also be good during this time frame to make sure that the Spark-Arrow integration is able to migrate to the new API after 0.8.0. There is an open JIRA about adding a Dockerized setup for integration testing with Spark, so this might be good motivation to set up a head-to-head integration tests between Spark master and Arrow master. Since the following week of 11/20 has the US Thanksgiving Holiday, it's likely to be a slow development week anyway, so we could put out an RC on Monday of that week assuming all is going well. best Wes On Mon, Oct 30, 2017 at 2:52 PM, Wes McKinney <wesmck...@gmail.com> wrote: > hi folks, > > With the way things are looking, I think we should aim to have all > 0.8.0 work wrapped up by the end of next week, and hopefully be > positioned to make a release candidate on Monday Nov 13 or Tuesday Nov > 14. > > There are still 53 JIRAs in TODO in the release milestone and several > in progress > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/ARROW/versions/12341352 > > It's likely we will have to slightly trim scope as the release nears, > but I would like for as much as possible of this work to get done in > time, so I will personally be pushing very hard throughout this week > and next week. > > We have quite a lot of loose ends at the moment and many PRs in > various states of review.
