Hey Vivek, Thanks for checking in on this. To reiterate what I mentioned in a different thread, the pace of integration here isn't a reflection on the quality of your work or the desire to have it integrated into the system. There are just a lot of moving pieces lately, and not enough folks to look at them. The last thing I heard is that Suryaa was going to talk to you about some last piece of cleanup that was necessary to submit it to the asterixdb-mcp repo I created a while back. Suryaa, do you know where that is? My view is that we should just transfer what exists today into that repo. It doesn't have to be perfect; it isn't a release artifact or something. I think really we should have just created that repo in the first place and worked from there. w.r.t the rest of the changes, that need to go into the main AsterixDB repository, I think for most of them it will have to go into the next release. There is already a very large backlog of release infrastructure and other changes that will be in this release. However, hopefully the releases after this next one will take months, and not years.
