It seems like a good time to start preparing the sparklyr 1.2 release. The Spark 3.0 is feature complete and the two other major features: Integration with the parallel package and Databricks Connect are also feature complete.

Notice that there is a release candidate for Spark 3.0 being proposed but might take a couple RC iterations to ship: http://apache-spark-developers-list.1001551.n3.nabble.com/VOTE-Apache-Spark-3-0-0-RC1-td29151.html

 

Are there any objections to start wrapping up this release and release in 1-3 weeks?

Otherwise, Yitao Li has volunteered to start preparing this new release and will send a release-to-CRAN vote email to the committers and this sparklyr-technical-discuss@... DL soon.

Best,

Javier
