Why don't we continue the development in the separate branch till the official release available? @ajantha-bhat It's true that we'd have a dependency on an RC on main but there's a benefit to being able to develop on top of it for any new integrations (e.g. for V3 for example) while the RC is still going because we don't expect those dependent features to fundamentally change between RC and release. Keep in mind the defaultSparkVersion and any infra like benchmarking will still default to 3.5 until the official release. The main challenge is that continuing development in the separate branch means that an individual needs to keep rebasing and evaluating if a change needs to be kept in sync with 4.0 with any intermediate changes to 3.4/3.5. Merging the initial means that every subsequent change to Iceberg-Spark puts it on the author of that change to keep it in sync, which is more narrow and that author will have a lot more context. Combining that with the previous point about new integrations simply means we can safely and reasonably iterate on 4.0 integration until the official release rather than an individual just wait for all of that while rebasing/keeping in sync. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
