Good morning,
To continue the community sync today when format version 3 was discussed.
Questions answered by consensus:
- Format version releases should _not_ be tied to Iceberg version releases.
- Several planned features will require format version releases; the
process shouldn't be onerous.
Unanswered questions:
- What will be included in format version 3?
- What is a reasonable target date?
- How to track progress? Today, there are two public lists:
- GH milestone: https://github.com/apache/iceberg/milestone/42
- GH project: https://github.com/orgs/apache/projects/377
- What is required of a feature in order to be included in any adopted
format version?
- At least one complete reference implementation should exist.
- Java is the reference implementation by convention; that's OK, but
not perfect. Should Java be the reference implementation by mandate?
Have I missed anything?
