Hi all, I wanted to start a discussion to have a 1.4.2 patch release.
For context, invalid split offsets were written in metadata due to a bug in 1.4.0. 1.4.1 included a patch <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/8860> for ignoring split offsets in case it is known they are invalid. The goal of the patch was to prevent engines from failing when reading these invalid offsets. However, recently it was discovered that the patch doesn't cover another code path so engines can still fail when reading the invalid split offset metadata. The patch for handling this is here <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/8925> . Starting this thread to see if folks have any other bug fixes that should be included in a 1.4.2 patch release? I've created a milestone here <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/milestone/40> . Thanks, Amogh Jahagirdar
