-1 (non-binding) SPARK-44462 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-44462> looks to be severe (I've marked it as a blocker) and we should include the fix as long as we have a fix here - https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/55410 <https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/55410>. I'll find the time to review the PR and ensure the fix to be included in 4.3.0.
Szehon/Yicong, I see these are worth addressing. Let's include them. Thanks for the heads up.
