Hi, All.
Apache ORC 1.8 is planned on September 15th and the milestone is here.
https://github.com/apache/orc/milestone/2 (3 Open, 105 Closed)
To give sufficient testing time (4 months), I'd like to propose to start a
soft feature freeze by creating `branch-1.8`.
After cutting branches,
- `main` branch will target Apache ORC 1.9.
- All new commits on the `main` branch are supposed to be shipped at Apache
ORC 1.9.0 by default.
- The ORC committers still can do manual backporting if needed (because
this is a soft-cut)
What do you think about the above plan?
Best,
Dongjoon.
