[ ] +1 Release this package as Apache Spark 3.1.3 [ ] -1 Do not release this package because ... To learn more about Apache Spark, please see http://spark.apache.org/ There are currently no open issues targeting 3.1.3 in Spark's JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse (try project = SPARK AND "Target Version/s" = "3.1.3" AND status in (Open, Reopened, "In Progress")) at https://s.apache.org/n79dw The tag to be voted on is v3.1.3-rc4 (commit d1f8a503a26bcfb4e466d9accc5fa241a7933667): https://github.com/apache/spark/tree/v3.1.3-rc4 The release files, including signatures, digests, etc. can be found at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/spark/v3.1.3-rc4-bin/ Signatures used for Spark RCs can be found in this file: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/spark/KEYS The staging repository for this release can be found at https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachespark-1401 The documentation corresponding to this release can be found at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/spark/v3.1.3-rc4-docs/ The list of bug fixes going into 3.1.3 can be found at the following URL: https://s.apache.org/x0q9b This release is using the release script from 3.1.3 The release docker container was rebuilt since the previous version didn't have the necessary components to build the R documentation. FAQ ========================= How can I help test this release? ========================= If you are a Spark user, you can help us test this release by taking an existing Spark workload and running on this release candidate, then reporting any regressions. If you're working in PySpark you can set up a virtual env and install the current RC and see if anything important breaks, in the Java/Scala you can add the staging repository to your projects resolvers and test with the RC (make sure to clean up the artifact cache before/after so you don't end up building with an out of date RC going forward). =========================================== What should happen to JIRA tickets still targeting 3.1.3? =========================================== The current list of open tickets targeted at 3.1.3 can be found at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/SPARK and search for "Target Version/s" = 3.1.3 Committers should look at those and triage. Extremely important bug fixes, documentation, and API tweaks that impact compatibility should be worked on immediately. Everything else please retarget to an appropriate release. ================== But my bug isn't fixed? ================== In order to make timely releases, we will typically not hold the release unless the bug in question is a regression from the previous release. That being said, if there is something that is a regression that has not been correctly targeted please ping me or a committer to help target the issue. Note: I added an extra day to the vote since I know some folks are likely busy on the 14th with partner(s). -- Twitter: https://twitter.com/holdenkarau Books (Learning Spark, High Performance Spark, etc.): https://amzn.to/2MaRAG9 <https://amzn.to/2MaRAG9> YouTube Live Streams: https://www.youtube.com/user/holdenkarau
