Hello All, With the allocator changes merged and about a month since the last release I think it would be good to start a vote soon. I would like to volunteer to be release manager.
I know that there were some issues that were identified after the transfer patch was merged. I think that these issues should be fixed before we cut a release candidate. >From looking at the associated JIRAs it looked like there was a possible short term fix just adjusting the max_query_memory_per_node option, and some more involved work to change how we determine the correct time to spill during external sort. I believe it makes sense to make external sort work well with the newly improved memory accounting before cutting a release, but I'm not sure how much work is left to be done there. [1] Please respond with your thoughts on a release soon and any JIRAs you would like to include in the release. [1] - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-4243 Thanks, Jason
