I'm all for getting a release out as soon as possible and following up with more features in the write path in 0.7.0.

Support for name-mapping Easy evolution of schema using the union_by_name method And a lot of bug fixes and improvements The write support is still limited, for example, partitioned writes or tables with sort-orders are not supported. Also, as Ryan mentioned during the last community sync, we're doing fast appends by default, and we're unable to compact yet. I've created issues on Github to track all these limitations. However, I think it is good to get the current work out to the public so they can try it and we can uncover any impediments as soon as possible. And we can follow up with 0.7.0.
