Thank you, William. I'm also thinking about that recently.
+1 for releasing 2.1.3, 2.0.6, 1.9.7, 1.8.10 soon (June). It would be helpful for all downstream projects. For ORC 2.2, I also support the early release (2025 July?) of Apache ORC 2.2.0. We may want to create branch-2.2 first as a soft feature freeze. BTW, to be complete, we need to finalize the following two items first. 1. ORC-1920: [C++] Support `Geometry` and `Geography` types (Under Review) https://github.com/apache/orc/pull/2269 2. Test `orc-tools` with Java 24 (Under testing) To give you all some background, Homebrew's `orc-tools` formula seems to be broken due to its default Homebrew Java dependency (which is Java 24 as of now). We have three ways to handle that. (A) To fix the Homebrew formula by pinning JDK to Java 21. (B) To make `orc-tools` work on Java 24 with local files although we don't support Java 24 or 25 yet due to Hadoop dependency. (C) To build a native image of `orc-tools` via GraalVM Community Edition like Apache Kafka community's 'kafka-native' docker image. We can do (A) easily in the Homebrew repository contribution. For (B), although ORC-1927 was merged for that purpose, we need to test `orc-tools` on Java 24 more to make sure. For (C), I'm investigating personally. ORC-1927: Add Java `25-ea` test coverage for `tools` module Dongjoon.
