Hey all, Thanks JB for kicking this discussion off! I agree that we should probably do a release soon, I was thinking even sooner than mid February. It would be great to have a 1.8 release before the end of January. I was going to bring this up in the community sync next week.
There are some additional backport PRs for Spark DV integration and default values that should get in, but those are pretty straightforward backports. There are additional memory-consumption optimizations for DVs that ideally would get in for 1.8 but I'd say they are not a must have. I'd propose that folks add what they think should get into 1.8.0 to the milestone <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A%22Iceberg+1.8.0%22> . In next week's community sync we can get to a consensus on any lingering specific items, and follow up on this thread if needed. In the meantime, we can review any of the PRs in the milestone and if there's not a consensus on the approach or if the change requires significantly more work, we may just want to punt those to a follow on 1.9 release. Let me know what you think!
