Thank you, Jacek, Sean, and Hyukjin.
The release is a human-driven process. Everyone can make mistakes.
For example, I released Apache Spark 2.2.3 with a missing pandoc, but we
didn't touch it because it's a community-blessed official version.
https://pypi.org/project/pyspark/2.2.3/
For this incident, given the situation, I'm +1 for `Skipping 3.1.0 and
starting 3.1.1 RC1` instead of making it official.
It's because
1. The vote is important in the Apache project management process.
The existing 3.1.0 artifacts in Maven Central are not a
community-blessed version.
2. Since this is the first incident, we had better build a rule to handle
this kind of accident.
If we approve `3.1.0` because it's published accidently, it could be a
bad practice.
In the worst case, a release manager can publish Spark 10.1.1
accidently in the future without votes.
BTW, thank you, Hyukjin, for your all efforts to prepare 3.1.0 as a release
manager.
We know that you devote lots of your time to make it happen.
Bests,
Dongjoon.
