Hi, All. I'd like to propose adjusting Apache ORC 1.9 release date to the end of June because the Apache Spark community sets Apache Spark 3.5 feature freeze date on July.
https://spark.apache.org/versioning-policy.html > July 16th 2023 Code freeze. Release branch cut. > August 2023 Release candidates (RC) WDTY? I'll volunteer as a release manager for Apache ORC 1.9.0. If we deliver 1.9.0 before code freeze, we can support the Spark community with subsequent releases like 1.9.1 (if needed) during the QA period. It's the best for both communities. To sum up, new release plans will be the following. Apache ORC 1.8.4 (2023-06-06, Yiqun Zhang) => Apache Spark 3.4.1 Apache ORC 1.9.0 (2023-06-30, Dongjoon Hyun) => Apache Spark 3.5.0 Dongjoon.
