Hi Everyone, Highlights for the otters who missed the community call,
Recording: https://fathom.video/share/GvFkDCLaYGk9y6CDVzKmwJ-eG3DBgVMr Meeting Summary: Purpose: ● Plan 0.8 release wrap-up and finalize 0.9 roadmap; prioritize core features (schema evolution, complex types, indexing), connectors (Flink 2.2, Spark, Azure), ecosystem integrations (Iceberg, Lance, DuckDB), and community/comms strategy. Discussions: ● 0.8 Release ● Jark to post RC1 vote summary and initiate second (binding) vote on incubator list. ○ Complete release process and announce first Apache Fluss release. ● 0.9 Feature Development ○ Implement log table rebucket for dynamic bucket scaling (log tables only, not PK tables). ○ Add auto-increment column support for PK tables (FLIP to advance). ○ Enable streaming KV scan for PK tables to support dashboards/serving. ○ Implement aggregate merge engine for PK tables to shift feature engineering state into Fluss. ○ Complete replica rebalance and coordinator HA for operational maturity. ○ Yang Wang/Leonard to refine schema evolution scope for Stage 1 implementation. ○ Yang Wang to upstream filter pushdown and lead GSI implementation. ○ Implement union read path and tiering hooks for streaming lakehouse. ● Connectors & Integrations ○ Mehul leading changelog/binary tables FLIP ○ Certify Flink 2.2 compatibility by 0.9 GA. ○ Drive Spark connector PR to completion for batch and streaming support. ● David to lead ADLS Gen2 integration; open GitHub issue and coordinate Azure subscription with Giannis. ● Address GCS/MinIO fixes and add OpenTelemetry support. ● Client SDKs ○ Leonard/Yuxia to prepare Rust/Python client release plan post-0.8. ■ Co-release Rust and Python; revisit repo split later. ● Ecosystem Partnerships ○ Prepare integration plan for DuckDB Labs sync (JDBC/ADBC for analytics-on-GB/TB scale). ● Cheng/Mehul/Giannis to coordinate LanceDB blog post/webinar with Jack Yee; publish on Fluss site. ● Mehul to add Fluss doc links on Iceberg website and coordinate webinar with Dremio/LakeKeeper. ○ Target Iceberg Summit talk next year. ● Strategic Positioning ○ Consider PK table standby replica mechanism in 0.9 or subsequent release (Yunhong's FLIP). ● Community Notes ○ Overwhelmingly positive reception at Flink Forward from companies like Shopify. ○ Azure contributors call-to-action Current Objective: Complete 0.8 release and deliver production-critical 0.9 features Best Regards, Mehul Batra
