Thank you for taking care of the release management for Kudu 1.17.0, Yingchun!
+1 for releasing Kudu 1.17.0 as per the information above. I verified the 1.17.0-RC1 tag is set on the 34243b3d0 changelist in the upstream git repo. I did the following to verify the functionality of the new 1.17.0 release: * checked out the source from the github.com git repo mirror * built Kudu's C++ components and tests in RELEASE configuration on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) node * run Kudu the tests using 'ctest -j2' command * all tests pass except for a few scenarios involving Ranger and RangerKMS in the following tests, but those seem to be test-only issues with the mini_ranger_kms and mini_ranger wrappers (those scenarios pass in gerrit pre-commit tests): ** master_authz-itest ** security-itest I also ran a smoke test running a small Kudu cluster and executing `kudu perf loadgen`, and it successfully completed.
