Dear Community, As discussed before[1], the proposed release date of *end of Feb* for Hudi 0.5.2 is getting closer. And we have some bug fixes and features since the 0.5.1 release about one month ago.
To make the release version more stable, I would suggest a bug fixing and testing period of two weeks to be on the safe side. Given the testing period, I would propose to do the code freeze on the 28th of Feb 23:59 PST in order to keep the release date. It means that we would cut the Hudi 0.5.2 release branch on this date and no more feature contributions would be accepted for this branch. And the uncompleted features would be shipped with the next release. There are 17 Jira issues unfinished[2] yet. All these issues have been assigned. Hope everyone will do their best to catch up with the code freezing time. What do you think about the proposed code freeze date? Glad to hear your thoughts.
