If we have more experimental public conf, we should consider doing it in a proper way. Regarding the ANSI mode, we need to consider the roadmap of Spark 3.x: which are still missing and what kind of behavior changes we plan to add. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
