Hi, All. Apache Spark community has a policy maintaining the feature branch for 18 months. I think it's time for the 2.2.3 release since 2.2.0 is released on July 2017.
http://spark.apache.org/versioning-policy.html After 2.2.2 (July 2018), `branch-2.2` has 40 patches (including security patches). https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=spark.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/branch-2.2 If it's okay and there is no further plan on `branch-2.2`, I want to volunteer to prepare the first RC (early next week?). Please let me know your opinions about this. Bests, Dongjoon.
