Hi, Ryan.
This thread has many replied as you see. That is the evidence that the
community is interested in your suggestion a lot.
> I'm offering to help build a stable release without breaking changes. But
if there is no community interest in it, I'm happy to drop this.
In this thread, the root cause of the disagreement is due to the lack of
supporting evidence for your claims.
1. Is DSv2 stable in `master`?
2. If then, what subset of DSv2 patches does Ryan is suggesting backporting?
3. How much those backporting DSv2 patches looks differently in
`branch-2.4`?
4. What does he mean by `without breaking changes? Is it technically
feasible?
Apache Spark 2.4.x and 2.5.x DSv2 should be compatible. (Not between
2.5.x DSv2 and 3.0.0 DSv2)
5. How long does it take? Is it possible before 3.0.0-preview? Who will
work on that backporting?
6. Is this meaningful if 2.5 and 3.1 become different again too soon (in
2020 Summer)?
We are SW engineers.
If you have a working branch, please share with us.
It will help us understand your suggestion and this discussion.
We can help you verify that branch achieves your goal.
The branch is tested already, isn't it?
Bests,
Dongjoon.
