Re: [VOTE] Functional DataSourceV2 in Spark 3.0

2019-02-28 Thread Matt Cheah
I want to specifically highlight and +1 a point that Ryan brought up:

 

A commitment binds us to do this and make a reasonable attempt at finishing on 
time. If we choose not to commit, or if we choose to commit and don’t make a 
reasonable attempt, then we need to ask, “what happened?” Is Spark the right 
place for this work?

 

What I don’t want is to work on it for 3-4 more months, miss the release, and 
then not have anyone take that problem seriously because we never said it was 
important. If we try and fail, then we need to fix what went wrong. This 
removes the option to pretend it wasn’t a goal in the first place. That’s why I 
think it is important that we make a statement that we, the community, intend 
to do it.

 

This is the crux of the matter we want to tackle here. Whether or not we block 
the release is a decision we can make when we are closer to the release date. 
But the fact of the matter is that Data Source V2’s new APIs have not been 
given the prioritization and urgency that they deserve. This vote is binding us 
to consider Data Source V2 so important that it needs to be prioritized far 
more highly than it is right now, to the point where we would at least consider 
delaying the release if it meant we could finish the work.

 

I also don’t quite follow the reason why we shouldn’t consider features to be 
as important to target as API breaks in major versions. When major versions of 
any software product are introduced, they certainly include API breaks as 
necessary, but they also add new features that give users incentive to upgrade 
in the first place. If all we do is introduce API breaks but no new features or 
critical bug fixes (and critical bug fixes are often severe enough that they’re 
backported to earlier branches anyways), what appeal is there for users to 
upgrade to that latest version?

This is also an acknowledgement that this is the most important feature in the

Re: [VOTE] Functional DataSourceV2 in Spark 3.0

2019-02-28 Thread Joseph Torres
I'm not worried about rushing. I worry that, without clear parameters for
the amount or types of DSv2 delays that are acceptable, we might end up
holding back 3.0 indefinitely to meet the deadline when we wouldn't have
made that decision de novo. (Or even worse, the PMC eventually feels they
must release 3.0 anyway, and then we're in the same position but everyone's
angry and frustrated.)

I do recognize that I'm particularly allergic to this risk, which is why
I'm not giving a -1 here - one of the first projects I worked on in my
career was delayed for over a year because an incomplete feature was bound
to its release date. But I don't agree that "might not resolve anything" is
the worst possible outcome here.

Re: [VOTE] Functional DataSourceV2 in Spark 3.0

2019-02-28 Thread Ryan Blue
The question is, what does it bind?

I’m not pushing for a binding statement to do this or delay the 3.0 release
because I don’t think that’s a very reasonable thing to do. It may well be
that there is a good reason for missing the goal.

So “what does it bind?” is an apt question.

A commitment binds us to do this and make a reasonable attempt at finishing
on time. If we choose not to commit, or if we choose to commit and don’t
make a reasonable attempt, then we need to ask, “what happened?” Is Spark
the right place for this work?

What I don’t want is to work on it for 3-4 more months, miss the release,
and then not have anyone take that problem seriously because we never said
it was important. If we try and fail, then we need to fix what went wrong.
This removes the option to pretend it wasn’t a goal in the first place.
That’s why I think it is important that we make a statement that we, the
community, intend to do it.

Re: [VOTE] Functional DataSourceV2 in Spark 3.0

2019-02-28 Thread Sean Owen
This is a fine thing to VOTE on. Committers (and community,
non-binding) can VOTE on what we like; we just don't do it often where
not required because it's a) overkill overhead over simple lazy
consensus, and b) it can be hard to say what the binding VOTE binds if
it's not a discrete commit or release. This is a big enough deal that
it's not overkill. The question is, what does it bind?

It means the release is definitely blocked until the items here are
done, but, what's 'done'? It will return to the same questions already
on the table, like do we need to define just APIs, and to what degree
of stability. At worst it might not resolve anything.

I don't see much harm in nailing down what appears to be agreement at
the level of specific goals, even if this isn't a vote on a release
date or specific commit. I think it's clear these items must be
resolved to the level of semi-stable API by 3.0, as it's coming soon
and this is the right time to establish these APIs. It might provide
necessary clarity and constraints to get it over the line.

To Mark -- yeah, this is asserting that DSv2 is a primary or necessary
goal of the release, just like a "Blocker" does. Why would this
argument be different or better if it waited until 3.0 was imminent? I
get that one might say, well, we ended up working on more important
stuff in the meantime and now we don't have time. But this VOTE's
purpose is to declare that this is the important stuff now.

To Jose -- what's the "just a few PRs in review" issue? you worry that
we might rush DSv2 at the end to meet a deadline? all the better to,
if anything, agree it's important now. It's also an agreement to delay
the release for it, not rush it. I don't see that later is a better
time to make the decision, if rush is a worry?

Given my definition, and understanding of the issues, I'd say +1

Re: [VOTE] Functional DataSourceV2 in Spark 3.0

2019-02-28 Thread Mark Hamstra
I agree that adding new features in a major release is not forbidden, but
that is just not the primary goal of a major release. If we reach the point
where we are happy with the new public API before some new features are in
a satisfactory state to be merged, then I don't want there to be a prior
presumption that we cannot complete the primary goal of the major release.
If at that point you want to argue that it is worth waiting for some new
feature, then that would be fine and may have sufficient merits to warrant
some delay.

Regardless of whether significant new public API comes into a major release
or a feature release, it should come in with an experimental annotation so
that we can make changes without requiring a new major release.

If you want to argue that some new features that are currently targeting
3.0.0 are significant enough that one or more of them should justify an
accelerated 3.1.0 release schedule if it is not ready in time for the 3.0.0
release, then I can much more easily get behind that kind of commitment;
but I remain opposed to the notion of promoting any new features to the
status of blockers of 3.0.0 at this time.

 Who is "we" in these statements, such as "we should consider a
 functional DSv2 implementation a blocker for Spark 3.0"? If it means those
 contributing to the DSv2 effort want to set their own goals, milestones,
 etc., then that is fine with me. If you mean that the Apache Spark project
 should officially commit to the lack of a functional DSv2 implementation
 being a blocker for the release of Spark 3.0, then I'm -1. A major release
 is just not about adding new features. Rather, it is about making changes
 to the existing public API. As such, I'm opposed to any new feature or any
 API addition being considered a blocker of the 3.0.0 release.

Re: [VOTE] Functional DataSourceV2 in Spark 3.0

2019-02-28 Thread Ryan Blue
Mark, I disagree. Setting common goals is a critical part of getting things
done.

This doesn't commit the community to push out the release if the goals
aren't met, but does mean that we will, as a community, seriously consider
it. This is also an acknowledgement that this is the most important feature
in the next release (whether major or minor) for many of us. This has been
in limbo for a very long time, so I think it is important for the community
to commit to getting it to a functional state.

It sounds like your objection is to this commitment for 3.0, but remember
that 3.0 is the next release so that we can remove deprecated APIs. It does
not mean that we aren't adding new features in that release and aren't
considering other goals.

 Are identifiers and namespaces going to be rolled under one of those

 *Subject: *[VOTE] Functional DataSourceV2 in Spark 3.0



 I’d like to call a vote for committing to getting DataSourceV2 in a
 functional state for Spark 3.0.

 For more context, please see the discussion thread, but here is a quick
 summary about what this commitment means:

 · We think that a “functional DSv2” is an achievable goal for
 the Spark 3.0 release

 · We will consider this a blocker for Spark 3.0, and take
 reasonable steps to make it happen

 · We will *not* delay the release without a community
 discussion

 Here’s what we’ve defined as a functional DSv2:

 · Add a plugin system for catalogs

 · Add an interface for table catalogs (see the ongoing SPIP
 vote)

 · Add an implementation of the new interface that calls
 SessionCatalog to load v2 tables

 · Add a resolution rule to load v2 tables from the v2 catalog

 · Add CTAS logical and physical plan nodes

 · Add conversions from SQL parsed plans to v2 logical plans
 (e.g., INSERT INTO support)

 Please vote in the next 3 days on whether you agree with committing to
 this goal.

 [ ] +1: Agree that we should consider a functional DSv2 implementation
 a blocker for Spark 3.0
 [ ] +0: . . .
 [ ] -1: I disagree with this goal because . . .

 Thank you!

Subject: [VOTE] Functional DataSourceV2 in Spark 3.0

 

I’d like to call a vote for committing to getting DataSourceV2 in a functional 
state for Spark 3.0.

For more context, please see the discussion thread, but here is a quick summary 
about what this commitment means:

· We think that a “functional DSv2” is an achievable goal for the Spark 
3.0 release

· We will consider this a blocker for Spark 3.0, and take reasonable 
steps to make it happen

· We will not delay the release without a community discussion

Here’s what we’ve defined as a functional DSv2:

· Add a plugin system for catalogs

· Add an interface for table catalogs (see the ongoing SPIP vote)

· Add an implementation of the new interface that calls SessionCatalog 
to load v2 tables

· Add a resolution rule to load v2 tables from the v2 catalog

· Add CTAS logical and physical plan nodes

· Add conversions from SQL parsed plans to v2 logical plans (e.g., 
INSERT INTO support)

Please vote in the next 3 days on whether you agree with committing to this 
goal.

[ ] +1: Agree that we should consider a functional DSv2 implementation a 
blocker for Spark 3.0
[ ] +0: . . .
[ ] -1: I disagree with this goal because . . .
