Hi all, I would like to send a gentle reminder as heads up that we're going to cut the branch early Aug, 1st to prepare branch-4.3. In the SPIP about releasing, we decided to do the faster release ones, and this would be the very first one.
I know that we just released Spark 4.2. That was unexpectedly delayed some more. I would like to avoid affecting our first release schedule - It has been our chronic issue in history, and I do think we should change this from 4.3 at the first predictable release, and push it forward. Let's get this done and let the releases be predictable. PS: would need to update https://spark.apache.org/versioning-policy.html for details about branchcut, RC and releases. Cc'ing @Jungtaek Lim <[email protected]> who's going to be the release manager for 4.3.
