Hi, All. Along with the discussion on 3.0.0, I'd like to discuss about the next releases on `branch-2.4`.
As we know, `branch-2.4` is our LTS branch and also there exists some questions on the release plans. More releases are important not only for the latest K8s version support, but also for delivering important bug fixes regularly (at least until 3.x becomes dominant.) In short, I'd like to propose the followings. 1. Apache Spark 2.4.5 release (2020 January) 2. Apache Spark 2.4.6 release (2020 July) Of course, we can adjust the schedule. This aims to have a pre-defined cadence in order to give release managers to prepare. Bests, Dongjoon. PS. As of now, `branch-2.4` has 135 additional patches after `2.4.4`.
