Hi all, Thanks to Alex and JB for the fixes. I've opened cherry-picks to the 1.4 release branch here: * https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/4191 * https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/4189
I will merge them in the morning (PST time) and start the process for RC2 if there are no objections in those PRs. In the meantime, this vote has failed and this thread is now closed. A new thread will be started for RC2.
