Hi Karan, I hope I can answer, We are working towards having the legal papers signed, as is expected that Apache Druid PMC and the ASF will require for the code donation.
However, I believe this won’t need coordination with the Apache Druid release. The intent is to suggest a separate repository and release cycle. This is similar to how Apache Flink manages the Operator sub level project.
