+1 for the feature freeze plan. However, 4 months seems like a pretty long testing time. Do we have any plans for the tests? Impala currently uses a snapshot version of ORC. But it can only cover the C++ client part. I'm not sure if there are any other projects using snapshot versions of ORC. So they can also improve our test coverage.
