Hi Charles, Could you please add a couple of items to the list of upcoming features, for example, I think that we should mention the following improvements: - Hive complex types support (arrays, structs, union) - Canonical Map<K, V> support - Schema provisioning via table function - Empty parquet files read / write support - Run-time row group pruning
Please refer to the upcoming release notes to point other significant improvements: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12313820&version=12344870 .
