Josh is preparing RC0 of Avatica release 1.8, and as soon as Avatica 1.8 is final we can make a release candidate of Calcite 1.8. That may be as little as one week away. Let’s start the Calcite 1.8 ball rolling now.
I volunteer to be release manager. Are there any issues that people would like to submit fixes for before Calcite 1.8? Are there any patches ready to review? Does any documentation need to be written? Any other show-stoppers for 1.8? The following seem almost ready: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1150 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1150> - Jinxing https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1235 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1235> - Michael https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1230 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1230> - Julian The other issues I would like to fix: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1229 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1229> - unassigned https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1208 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1208> - Julian Julian
