Hey Ajantha, Yes I was just looking into this, during the release the stage-binaries.sh script intermittently failed for me (I lost my wifi during the uploading of one of the spark artifacts) https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/main/dev/stage-binaries.sh . I restarted the script which seemed safe to do since the spark builds are done with explicit Scala versions. My guess is maybe something went wrong here? Just a guess though I still don't see how else this could happen.
Either way, yes I think we'll need a new release. I agree we probably should have a more automated mechanism to verify the staged release jars since at the end of the day those are what's going out when the release passes. Thanks, Amogh Jahagirdar
