We still have several blockers for 2.1, so I imagine at least one will mean this won't be the final RC:
SPARK-18318 ML, Graph 2.1 QA: API: New Scala APIs, docs SPARK-18319 ML, Graph 2.1 QA: API: Experimental, DeveloperApi, final, sealed audit SPARK-18326 SparkR 2.1 QA: New R APIs and API docs SPARK-18516 Separate instantaneous state from progress performance statistics SPARK-18538 Concurrent Fetching DataFrameReader JDBC APIs Do Not Work SPARK-18553 Executor loss may cause TaskSetManager to be leaked However I understand the purpose here is of course to get started testing early and we should all do so. BTW here are the Critical issues still open: SPARK-12347 Write script to run all MLlib examples for testing SPARK-16032 Audit semantics of various insertion operations related to partitioned tables SPARK-17861 Store data source partitions in metastore and push partition pruning into metastore SPARK-18091 Deep if expressions cause Generated SpecificUnsafeProjection code to exceed JVM code size limit SPARK-18274 Memory leak in PySpark StringIndexer SPARK-18316 Spark MLlib, GraphX 2.1 QA umbrella SPARK-18322 ML, Graph 2.1 QA: Update user guide for new features & APIs SPARK-18323 Update MLlib, GraphX websites for 2.1 SPARK-18324 ML, Graph 2.1 QA: Programming guide update and migration guide SPARK-18329 Spark R 2.1 QA umbrella SPARK-18330 SparkR 2.1 QA: Update user guide for new features & APIs SPARK-18331 Update SparkR website for 2.1 SPARK-18332 SparkR 2.1 QA: Programming guide, migration guide, vignettes updates SPARK-18468 Flaky test: org.apache.spark.sql.hive.HiveSparkSubmitSuite.SPARK-9757 Persist Parquet relation with decimal column SPARK-18549 Failed to Uncache a View that References a Dropped Table. SPARK-18560 Receiver data can not be dataSerialized properly.
