Hey Everybody, I'd like to propose a new release candidate of Apache Drill, version 1.3.0. This is the fourth release candidate (rc3). This addresses some issues identified in the the third release candidate including some issues with missing S3 dependencies, Avro deserialization issues and Parquet file writer metadata additions. Note that this doesn't directly address DRILL-4070, an issue that sunk the last candidate. Based on additional conversations on the JIRA, the plan is provide a separate migration tool for people to rewrite their Parquet footers.
The tarball artifacts are hosted at [2] and the maven artifacts are hosted at [3]. This release candidate is based on commit cc127ff4ac6272d2cb1b602890c0b7c503ea2062 located at [4]. The vote will be open for 72 hours ending at 10PM Pacific, November 20, 2015.
