According to the timeline posted on the website, we are nearing branch cut for Spark 2.3. I'd like to propose pushing this out towards mid to late December for a couple of reasons and would like to hear what people think.
1. I've done release management during the Thanksgiving / Christmas time before and in my experience, we don't actually get a lot of testing during this time due to vacations and other commitments. I think beginning the RC process in early January would give us the best coverage in the shortest amount of time. 2. There are several large initiatives in progress that given a little more time would leave us with a much more exciting 2.3 release. Specifically, the work on the history server, Kubernetes and continuous processing. 3. Given the actual release date of Spark 2.2, I think we'll still get Spark 2.3 out roughly 6 months after. Thoughts? Michael
