Hello Kudu developers, The new 1.17.x branch is available for use (it's named branch-1.17.x). Let me know if there are any pending CRs that are hoping to land in the 1.17.0 release, and when ready, please cherry-pick onto branch-1.17.x in Gerrit. I have put up a review for release notes (https://gerrit.cloudera.org/c/19512/) and put together an RC1 ASAP. Thanks to everyone who contributed!.
As always, if you have questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out. Best regards, Yingchun
