Hi Kudu community, I'm happy to announce that the Kudu PMC has voted to add Bankim Bhavsar as a new committer and PMC member.
Bankim has been actively writing Kudu code for the last six months or so. Aside from various bug fixes, his major contribution has been to replace the existing Bloom filter predicate code with a more full-featured implementation that should also be more robust and efficient. One of the challenges here has been integration with Apache Impala, and providing a common abstraction that can be used by both codebases. This work is still ongoing but is drawing to a close pretty soon. Please join me in congratulating Bankim!
