+1 I'm excited about Iceberg as well. I see a lot of companies that benefit from from Iceberg, or I'm sure they will in the future.
One concern I would be the set of committers: Mentors: * Ryan Blue <b...@apache.org>, 408 commits, rdblue * Julien Le Dem <jul...@apache.org>, 1 commit, julienledem * Owen O'Malley <omal...@apache.org>, 4 commits, omalley * James R. Taylor <jamestay...@apache.org>, 0 commits, JamesRTaylor * Carl Steinbach <c...@apache.org>, 0 commits, cwsteinbach Committers/PPMC: * Parth Brahmbhatt <pa...@apache.org>, 13 commits, Parth-Brahmbhatt * Daniel C. Weeks <dwe...@apache.org>, 7 commits, danielcweeks * Anton Okolnychyi <aokolnyc...@apache.org>, 63 commits, aokolnychyi * Ratandeep Ratti <r...@apache.org>, 26 commits, rdsr (missing on https://incubator.apache.org/projects/iceberg.html) Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but a more diverse set of people would be desirable. However, for now, I would not consider this as a blocker. Cheers, Fokko Op ma 11 mei 2020 om 21:16 schreef Owen O'Malley <owen.omal...@gmail.com>: > +1 to graduation.
