Hi, Cheng.
Thank you for the suggestion. Your suggestion seems to have at least two
themes.
A. Adding a new Apache Spark community policy (contract) to guarantee MySQL
LTS Versions Support.
B. Dropping the support of non-LTS version support (MySQL 8.3/8.2/8.1)
And, it brings me three questions.
Hi, Spark community,
I noticed that the Spark JDBC connector MySQL dialect is testing against the
8.3.0[1] now, a non-LTS version.
MySQL changed the version policy recently[2], which is now very similar to the
Java version policy. In short, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 8.0 is the LTS version, 8.1, 8.2,
8.3
