Hi, and welcome to March! Our initial goal of a RC1 within February slipped, but we are still in a good position. I'll try to summarize the current code blockers:
SOLR-16061 Decouple CloudSolrClient from ZkStateReader This is new, a spin-off from SOLR-15342 to prepare for solrj modularization. There is already a draft PR. Hope there will be progress on this so we don't have to delay solrj modularization until 10.0 SOLR-14290 Fix NPE in SolrTestCaseJ4 breaking external usage for master/9.x This has not seen any movement despite repeated reminders, so unless there is progress within a few days I'll remove it as blocker and add a note to the release notes that users relying on running test framework locally should wait for a later release. SOLR-14401 "distrib" request handler metrics should only be tracked on... There is a PR, not sure how close to merge it is though. Also, David found a new blocker bug yesterday - the "jetty" metrics group is missing in 9.x. There will likely be another blocker due to this. Appreciate an update in this thread on the ETA for each of these.
