+1 (non-binding) Verified Apache Spark 4.2.1 RC3 (tag v4.2.1-rc3, commit 61761839608):
- Good GPG signatures and SHA512 sums on all artifacts (source, three binaries, the PySpark/SparkR tarballs). - Source tarball matches the tag (no jars/classes), and RELEASE in all three binaries records the same commit. - Built the source tarball with -Phive -Phive-thriftserver on JDK 17, got a clean build across all 39 modules. - Re-ran the test suites for the RC2 fixes (SPARK-60023, SPARK-60109, etc.), all tests pass, including new ones. - Ra smoke tests on JDK 17 and 21: Java, Scala, SQL, PySpark and Spark Connect (Scala client), all look good. - Sanity-checked the binary dist (RELEASE, LICENSE/NOTICE/licenses all present), ran dev/check-license, RAT passes. - Checked the docs: site and API docs are up for 4.2.1, and the changes since 4.2.0 map to commits in this release. Thank you Szehon!
