Hey All, Just a friendly reminder that Aug 1st is the feature freeze for Spark 1.5, meaning major outstanding changes will need to land in the this week.
After May 1st we'll package a release for testing and then go into the normal triage process where bugs are prioritized and some smaller features are allowed on a case by case basis (if they are very low risk/ additive/feature flagged/etc). As always, I'll invite the community to help participate in code review of patches in the this week, since review bandwidth is the single biggest determinant of how many features will get in. Please also keep in mind that most active committers are working overtime (nights/weekends) during this period and will try their best to help usher in as many patches as possible, along with their own code. As a reminder, release window dates are always maintained on the wiki and are updated after each release according to our 3 month release cadence: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Wiki+Homepage Thanks - and happy coding! - Reynold
