Re: [DISCUSS] Iceberg Java 1.11.0 release
Hi all,
We've made significant progress cleaning up the 1.11.0 blockers, especially
around license issues. Thanks to everyone who helped drive that forward. I
believe all license concerns are now resolved — please let me know if I'm
missing anything.
Maximilian flagged a Flink update to remove the flink-metrics-dropwizard
dependency (PR <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/16155>). This
doesn't appear to be a release blocker to me, but please let me know if you
see it differently.
We have one remaining blocker: Core: Propagate server error message in
failed remote scan planning responses (PR
<https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/16024>). I've checked with Prashant
and it's very close to merging. Please help review when you get a chance.
Thanks,
Aihua

Thanks Max.
To give an update on the 1.11.0 release: we have a few license PRs to be
merged and we will proceed the release process after that.

Hi Aihua,
Ack, removing the flink-metrics-dropwizard dependency is not a release
blocker. We already updated the LICENSE file to properly attribute the
dependency.
Thanks for driving the release forward!
Cheers,
Max
