Thank you all for verifying the release candidate 0.
Given that this candidate version has severe user-facing issues [1], I am cancelling off this vote. Additionally, there are two other minor issues: One is the problem reported by Okumin regarding some ticket information not being included in the RELEASE_NOTES. This will be fixed in the next candidate version. However, I believe we should remove the RELEASE_NOTES from the archive to avoid imposing unnecessary burdens on future release managers. See ticket [2]. The other is the issue reported by Denys: "HMS doesn't start the RestCatalog by default." In hive configuration code, the RestCatalog is disabled by default [3], which is an expected behavior. We can consider enabling it by default in future releases. Additionally, the HMS Docker image configuration enables the RestCatalog by default, whereas the archived package does not. This configuration inconsistency can be fixed in ticket [4]. However, this minor fix does not need to be included in 4.1.0. If there are any further issues regarding this candidate version, please feel free to raise them as soon as possible. Once again, thank you all for your time!
