Re: Spark 3.1 branch cut 4th Dec?

2020-11-26 Thread Hyukjin Kwon
Just as a gentle reminder, we have one week left before the branch-cut.
Please focus on finalizing the works to land in Spark 3.1.0.
After the branch-cut, I will look through the JIRAs and update the fields
correctly, for example, retargeting to 3.2.0 in the JIRAs targeted 3.1.0.

As Dongjoon pointed out, I either don’t expect a delay anymore. After the
branch-cut, we will have to focus on QA and no new features will be landed
to branch-3.1:

Mid Dec 2020 QA period. Focus on bug fixes, tests, stability and docs.
Generally, no new features merged

in order for us to start the RC in

Early Jan 2021 as planned:Early Jan 2021 Release candidates (RC), voting,
etc. until final release passes


I know this is Thanksgiving day now in the US. Hope you guys enjoy the rest
of the holidays.

Thanks!

 based on their own judgement. We should try to avoid merging the

 work after the branch cut.

 So, the Apache Spark community accepted your request for delay
 already. (Early November to Early December)

 -
 https://github.com/apache/spark-website/commit/0cd0bdc80503882b4737db7e77cc8f9d17ec12ca

 I don't think the branch cut should be delayed again. We don't need
 to have two weeks after Hyukjin's email.

 Given the delay, I'd strongly recommend to cut the branch on 1st
 December.

 I'll create a `branch-3.1` on 1st December if Hyujkjin is busy to
 start to stabilize .

 Again, it will not block you if you have an exceptional request.

 However, it would be helpful for all of us if you make it clear
 what features you are waiting for now.

 We are creating Apache Spark together.

 Bests,
 Dongjoon.

Just for the record, I'll stick to the date we documented at

Should be best to stick to what we wrote there given they we delayed once

 Correction:

 Merging the feature work after the branch cut should not be
 encouraged in general, although some committers did make some 
 exceptions
 based on their own judgement. We should try to avoid merging the 
 feature
 work after the branch cut.

 This email is a good reminder message. At least, we have two weeks
 ahead of the proposed branch cut date. I hope each feature owner might
 hurry up and try to finish it before the branch cut.

 Hi, Dongjoon,

 Thank you for your feedback. I think *Early December* does not mean we
 will cut the branch on Dec 1st. I do not think Dec 1st and Dec 4th are a
 big deal. Normally, it would be nice to give enough buffer. Based on my

 Since the previous branch-cuts were always soft-code freeze which
 allowed committers to merge to the new branches still for a while, I
 believe 1st December will be better for stabilization.

 Hi all,

 I think we haven’t decided yet the exact branch-cut, code freeze
 and release manager.

 As we planned in https://spark.apache.org/versioning-policy.html

 Early Dec 2020 Code freeze. Release branch cut

 Code freeze and branch cutting is coming.

 Therefore, we should finish if there are any remaining works for
 Spark 3.1, and
 switch to QA mode soon.
 I think it’s time to set to keep it on track, and I would like to
 volunteer to help drive this process.

 I am currently thinking 4th Dec as the branch-cut date.

 Any thoughts?

 Thanks all.

 Merging the feature work after the branch cut should not be encouraged
 in general, although some committers did make some exceptions based on
 their own judgement. We should try to avoid merging the feature work after
 the branch cut.

 This email is a good reminder message. At least, we have two weeks
 ahead of the proposed branch cut date. I hope each feature owner might
 hurry up and try to finish it before the branch cut.

Re: Spark 3.1 branch cut 4th Dec?

2020-11-20 Thread Xiao Li
https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/28026 is the major feature I am
tracking. It is painful to keep two sets of CREATE TABLE DDLs with
different behaviors. This hurts the usability of our SQL users, based on
what I heard. Unfortunately, this PR missed Spark 3.0 release. Now, I think
we should try our best to address it in 3.1.

Thanks,

Xiao

Hi, Dongjoon,

Thank you for your feedback. I think *Early December* does not mean we will
cut the branch on Dec 1st. I do not think Dec 1st and Dec 4th are a big
deal. Normally, it would be nice to give enough buffer. Based on my
understanding, this email is just a *proposal* and a *reminder*. In the
past, we often got mixed feedbacks.

Anyway, we are collecting the feedbacks from the whole community. Welcome

 Since the previous branch-cuts were always soft-code freeze which
 allowed committers to merge to the new branches still for a while, I
 believe 1st December will be better for stabilization.

Hi, Xiao.

I agree.

encouraged in general, although some committers did make some exceptions
based on their own judgement. We should try to avoid merging the feature
work after the branch cut.

So, the Apache Spark community accepted your request for delay already.
(Early November to Early December)

-
https://github.com/apache/spark-website/commit/0cd0bdc80503882b4737db7e77cc8f9d17ec12ca

I don't think the branch cut should be delayed again. We don't need to have
two weeks after Hyukjin's email.

Given the delay, I'd strongly recommend to cut the branch on 1st December.

I'll create a `branch-3.1` on 1st December if Hyujkjin is busy to start to
stabilize .

Again, it will not block you if you have an exceptional request.

However, it would be helpful for all of us if you make it clear what
features you are waiting for now.

We are creating Apache Spark together.

Bests,
Dongjoon.

 Hi all,

 I think we haven’t decided yet the exact branch-cut, code freeze and
 release manager.

 As we planned in https://spark.apache.org/versioning-policy.html

 Early Dec 2020 Code freeze. Release branch cut

 Code freeze and branch cutting is coming.

 Therefore, we should finish if there are any remaining works for Spark
 3.1, and
 switch to QA mode soon.
 I think it’s time to set to keep it on track, and I would like to
 volunteer to help drive this process.

 I am currently thinking 4th Dec as the branch-cut date.

 Any thoughts?

 Thanks all.

We should try to merge the feature work after the branch cut. This should
not be encouraged in general, although some committers did make some
exceptions based on their own judgement.

Thank you for your volunteering!

Since the previous branch-cuts were always soft-code freeze which allowed
committers to merge to the new branches still for a while, I believe 1st
December will be better for stabilization.
