Hi, All. Since the Apache Spark 4.0.0-preview1 tag was created in May, it's been over 3 months.
https://github.com/apache/spark/releases/tag/v4.0.0-preview1 (2024-05-28) Almost 1k commits including improvements, refactoring, and bug fixes landed at `master` branch. $ git log --oneline master a78ef73..HEAD | wc -l 965 According to the progress on SPARK-44111 and related issues, I believe we had better release `Preview2` this month in order to get more feedback on the recent progress. - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-44111 (Prepare Apache Spark 4.0.0) WDYT? I'm also volunteering as the release manager of Apache Spark 4.0.0-preview2. Dongjoon.
