There was a problem hiding this comment.
The bootstrapping is always difficult. Given that, why don't we give an explicit example like 2026 and 2027 release plan, @HyukjinKwon and @cloud-fan ?
For example, I guessed like the following but it seems that this PR has a different timeline.
- 4.2.0 (The original plan): 2026 Summer + 18 months.
- 4.3.0 (LTS based on SPIP)
- 4.3.0 RC1 will start after 3 months from the release day of Apache Spark 4.2.0 in 2026.
- In 2027, Spark 5 will start as the annual release with the quarterly feature releases.
- Spark 5.0: 2027.1
- Spark 5.1: 2027.4
- Spark 5.2: 2027.7
- Spark 5.3: 2027.10 (LTS based on SPIP)
I just want to understand our plan of migration toward this SPIP. So, if there is an explicit example for 2026 and 2027. It would be perfect for me and all. The above is only one of personal understanding.
