Discussion

Arrow 9.0.0 Release

Increased capacity for crossbow, like 3x, including Macs. Devs are
encouraged to use more crossbow runs to make sure their PRs keep master as
release-able as possible.


Also working on more caching improvements, but likely won’t make it in by
release.

There's been a large decline in passing nightly tests in recent days (see
the Nightly Dashboard [1]). This is mostly caused by race conditions in the
scanner (ARROW-17127 [2]). This issue is a blocker for release, but does
not yet have any progress.

We still have 8 blocker issues for release (see release dashboard [3]).
Only 4 of them appear to be actively worked on, so more attention is needed
on these issues.


>From monday onwards, there will be a feature freeze for the 9.0.0 release.
The release managers will only cherry pick commits that fix blocker issues.
Contributors should continue to merge stuff to master as normal; it will
just not be included in release.

One nightly failure is due to a known issue with protobuf ABI on MacOS.
There is an upstream release coming soon that will fix it [4].

Any reviews that should be prioritized? David noted that the JDBC module in
Java needs to be reviewed by additional maintainers [5]. Key question: Do
we want to support this?
Win32 PR

James has been working on the Win32 PR fix [6]. Mostly build warnings being
fixed. Focusing on 2017 32-bit MSVC. Most of the library code has been
fixed; now fixing test cases.

One failing test is the R ubuntu test. Rok noted it is likely unrelated as
he is seeing elsewhere [7].
Flight SQL JDBC Contribution Update

Apache side was scrutinizing the vote, but now that discussion is settled.
Still waiting on one ICLA, which may have been submitted but gotten lost.
This contribution likely won’t hit 9.0.0.
