Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Parquet 1.18.0
Hey everyone,
I got multiple folks asking for a release for both features, fixes and CVE's that are patched. If there are no objections, I'd like to start the release process next week. Thoughts or concerns?
Kind regards,
Fokko Driesprong

+1 to forward compatibility fix
I also think we should land Java 17 as a minimum version [1] with most
downstream projects requiring Java 17 and even some of our
dependencies starting to do it, it makes sense for a new version.

Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Parquet 1.18.0
Posted by Kevin Liu <ke...@apache.org>.
+1 to the new release, but I would like to include this
forward-compatibility fix [1].
Readers currently fail when a file contains a logical type they do not
recognize, even if that column is not projected. This includes newer
logical types that the reader does not support, as well as explicitly
unknown logical types. For example, parquet-java 1.15.x does not understand
VARIANT (it was added in 1.16.x), and 1.17.x still fails on an unknown
logical type.
This makes otherwise readable files unusable and creates a recurring
compatibility problem as new logical types are introduced. If support for
the FILE logical type does not land in 1.18.x, the release will also be
unable to open files with the FILE annotation.
I have opened PR #3669 [2] to fix this behavior. Would love to include it
before the next release.
Best,
Kevin Liu

Re: [DISCUSS] Apache Parquet 1.18.0
Posted by Fokko Driesprong <fo...@apache.org>.
Thanks all for the prompt replies!
Since the 1.18.0 has been lagging for a while, I'd rather not extend the scope at this point. Our docs suggest a 3 monthly release, but 1.17.0 was released in December.
Kevin, thanks for flagging the compatibility fix. I agree that we should include it in the release.
I agree it is time to bump to JDK17, but I don't see much value in adding it to this version since it will just bump the lower bound.
For this release, I would also suggest keeping the current clunky release process. Even after so many releases, it still takes effort to go through it, so I'm very much looking forward to the automated version. With the amount of shell involved, I would suprised if it would work on the first go :)
Instead, I think we should do a follow up release with 1.19.0 soon (1-2 month?) with all that goodness and we can take the time to let it simmer a bit. If I'm reading Russell's message correctly, he's happy to run the release and I'm certainly happy to help :) In 1.19.0 we can then add Steve's hardening work, Ismaël's peformance improvements and much more.
With everyone a great weekend!
Kind regards,
Fokko
