> If this is the main concern, then I think our recommendation should be to update the version of the Iceberg runtime bundle. @rdblue But the newer version of the Iceberg runtime bundle does tie to specific Iceberg versions as well, and different versions do introduce differences that warrant some thorough testing in our system. For example, object storage file layout in [1.6.x](https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/1.6.1/aws/?h=object#object-store-file-layout) have different pattern from [1.8.x](https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/1.8.1/aws/?h=object#object-store-file-layout). If any one takes some dependencies on the particular structure in 1.6.x, they would very cautious to bump the version to 1.8.x. Usually when we upgrade the Iceberg versions, we will go a lot of testing to verify its correctness, performance, and backward compatibility, to leave no stone unturned. Given that 1.6.1 was released on August 27, 2024, less than 1 year ago, I do think the community should continue supporting it for critical security/bug fixes like this one. However, if the community already decided that users should always upgrade to latest version ASAP, I rest my case. Meanwhile, @nastra @pvary since PR https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/12767 has already merged, what's the next step to release it? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
