Thank you for swift feedbacks and Happy New Year. :) For 2.2.3 release on next week, I see two positive opinions (including mine) and don't see any direct objections.
Apache Spark has a mature, resourceful, and fast-growing community. One of the important characteristic of the mature community is the expectable behavior where the users are able to depend on. For instance, we have a nice tradition to cut the branch as a sign of feature freeze. The *final* release of a branch is not only good for the end users, but also a good sign of the EOL of the branch for all. As a junior committer of the community, I want to contribute to deliver the final 2.2.3 release to the community and to finalize `branch-2.2`. * For Apache Spark JIRA, I checked that there is no on-going issues targeting on `2.2.3`. * For commits, I reviewed the newly landed commits after `2.2.2` tag and updated a few missing JIRA issues accordingly. * Apparently, we can release 2.2.3 next week. BTW, I'm +1 for the next 2.3/2.4 and have been expecting those releases before Spark+AI Summit (April) because we did like that usually. Please send another email to `dev` mailing list because it's worth to receive more attentions and requests. Bests, Dongjoon.
