Hi Team, Recently in one of the Iceberg Sync <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YuGhUdukLP5gGiqCbk0A5_Wifqe2CZWgOd3TbhY3UQg/edit#heading=h.z3dncl7gr8m1> (On 7th September), we discussed Spark version maintenance. Currently, Iceberg supports 5 versions of spark (2.4,3.0,3.1,3.2,3.3). Which is hard to maintain and many defects are not synced from the latest versions to older versions.
We thought of removing 2.4,3.0 and 3.1 support, but later realized that Dataproc and a few other services are still using 3.1 and it is better to continue the support for at least one 2.X version (2.4) So, finally, spark-3.0 is something we can stop supporting. I have started working on it [#6093 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/6093> and #6094 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/6094>] and this email is just to improve awareness about it. *Please reply if there are any concerns about removing spark-3.0 support. * Thanks, Ajantha
