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and test with the RC (make sure to clean up the artifact cache before/after so you don't end up building with a out of date RC going forward).
