Discussion:

Arrow 12.0.0 Release

- Planned date for code freeze April 11th.
- Plan is for Raúl and Kou to collaborate to manage the release
similar to the 11.0.0 release
- Raúl indicated that under this arrangement, the release process
itself has not been too burdensome, but it has been challenging to
complete all the post-release tasks in a timely manner. For example,
there have been delays updating the conan and vcpkg packages. We could
use help from community members willing to volunteer to perform some
of these post-release tasks
- Please tag any issues that should block the release with:
label:"Priority: Blocker" and milestone:"12.0.0"


Issues we hope to resolve before the code freeze

- Acero ordered execution [1]
- Incorrect hash join results [2]
- Acero scanner work (if time permits)
- Performance regression from row default Parquet group size change [3]
- Slow Parquet reads [4]
- Fixed-shape tensor implementation PR [5]
- Performance regression in writing FixedSizeList to Parquet with
default row group size (if feasible) [6]
- PyArrow bindings to Acero (and removing custom Cython ExecPlan usage) [7]


Removing plasma

- Plasma has been deprecated as of the 10.0.0 release, and its removal
is scheduled to happen in the 12.0.0 release [8] because its original
authors stopped contributing to the Arrow community and forked their
own code for internal use inside another project
- There is ongoing investigation into which alternatives we should
recommend to replace Plasma in different use cases
- The maintainers intend to proceed as per this plan
- Will Jones has sent an email to the dev@ and user@ lists to provide
a reminder about this and seek recommendations about alternatives [9]
