hi folks, As a result of ARROW-3514, we need to release new Python packages quite urgently since major functionality (Parquet writing on many Linux platforms) is broken out of the box
https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/66d9a30a26e1659d9e992037339515e59a6ae518 We have a couple options: * Release from master * Release 0.11.0 + minimum patches to include the ARROW-3514 fix and any follow up patches to fix packaging There is the option to "not" release but it could cause confusion for people because PyPI does not allow replacing wheels; a new version number has to be created. What would folks like to do? Who can help with the RM duties? Since a 72 hour vote is a _should_ rather than _must_, we could reasonably close the release vote in < 72 hours and push out packages faster if it is scope limited to the zlib bug fix Thanks, Wes
