Hi Rahul!
Thanks for the fast re-release after fix! Did a quick check of DIFF
between rc2 and rc3 and tookt he accelerated check path. As on the
release ticket did a regression on Grid refresh, also made deployment to
production ready. PMC check gives:
Airflow/Airflow Core: +1 (binding), checked:
- SVN
- Reproducible package build
- Licenses
- Signatures
- Checksums
- Install in Docker
- Source tarball
Task SDK: +1 (binding), checked:
- SVN
- Reproducible package build
- Licenses
- Signatures
- Checksums
- Install in Docker
Nevertheless we have seen some severe performance degradation in loading
the Grid in _some_ Dags. We were not able to triage down which condition
it was but it seems it was related especially to a Dag that had a mapped
task in a task group. No big complexity but we have seen that the URL
call
https://airflow-api-server/ui/grid/runs/dag_name?limit=10&order_by=-run_after
sometimes took 20+ seconds. Will attempt the next days to see if our DB
is missing an index or how the query is constructed that makes in so
slow. But 90% of other checked Dags look good and we found only 1 Dag
that is really that slow, others respond in ~10 seconds on this URL. I
assume something got bad in that call compared to previous versions. (As
we skipped 3.2.0 not sure if it was already like this in 3.2.0 and was
not able to make a regression there)
So besides the PMC voting of +1 (binding) I might need to lower it to
+0.9 (binding) - assuming sufficient other votes make it across the bar
but wanted to raise awareness of this.

I have checked and verified the following for both packages,
- Reproducible package builds
- SVN
- Licence
- Signature
- Checksums

Please vote accordingly:
[ ] +1 approve
[ ] +0 no opinion
[ ] -1 disapprove with the reason
Only votes from PMC members are binding, but all members of the community
are encouraged to test the release and vote with "(non-binding)".
The test procedure for PMC members is described in:
https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_AIRFLOW.md\#verify-the-release-candidate-by-pmc-members
The test procedure for contributors and members of the community who
would
like to test this RC is described in:
https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/dev/README_RELEASE_AIRFLOW.md\#verify-the-release-candidate-by-contributors
Please note that the version number excludes the 'rcX' string, so it's
now
simply 3.2.1 for Airflow package and 1.2.1 for Task SDK. This will allow
us
to rename the artifact without modifying
the artifact checksums when we actually release.
