We don't always announce these things, but we should. Just wanted to send out a hearty congrats to Chris George for his first Kudu patch, including some big improvements to the Spark DataSource: https://github.com/apache/incubator-kudu/commit/938f7feaf90d76bc7f4d2823c61808a9b140168f
This new DataSource uses the Kudu client API directly, and includes predicate pushdowns for Spark SQL and Spark filters, parallel retrieval for multiple tablets, and column projections. Thanks for your contribution, Chris. Keep em coming! Best, Mike
