Hi Ayush,
Recently, with the help of Denys and Zhihua, we have optimized the packaging and release process for the standalone metastore over the past week, which is now largely completed. Several critical PRs have also been cherry-picked. Personally, I believe there are no major issues remaining on the branch-4.1 branch at this point. There are still a few issues [1] under consideration for merging into branch-4.1, but a decision should be made soon. Additionally, two minor issues have emerged on branch-4.1, which have somewhat slowed down the PR merging process—one being a flaky test [2] and the other related to JavaDoc generation with JDK-17 [3]. Perhaps we can consider optimizing these in the 4.1.1 release. In the next couple of days, I will perform further pre-release validation locally. Ideally, I think we could initiate the RC vote by the end of this week, or at the latest, early next week. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share them. Many thanks!

Are there any major blockers we should be aware of?
