Hi As we know that we next release 0.10.0 is coming, there are several issues which should be merged as soon as possible in my mind:
1. https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/1477 It will change the flink state design to maintain the complete data files into manifest before checkpoint finished, it good for minimal the flink state size and improve the state compatibility (Before that we will serialize the DataFile into flink state backend, while DataFile class have depended some java serializable classes, the means if we change the dependencies classes, it may fail to deserialize the state). Currently, I gained a +1 from Steven Zhen Wu, thanks for his patient reviewing. According to the apache rule, I need another +1 from iceberg committers, anyone have time to get the review finished ? 2. https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/1586 This will introduce options to load the external hive-site.xml for flink hive catalog, which is really helpful for production environment, not a hard change. But will still need a review from iceberg members. Thanks. 3. https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/1619 We introduced another write parallelism for iceberg flink stream writers. Thanks kbendick and Stevenzwu for the reviewing, gain two +1 now. Should I merge this ? Besides the flink PRs, it is very beneficial to put forward other related issues which is blocking the release 0.10.0 . I am happy to help resolve these issues. Thanks.
