Qing, its great that you are working on improving the Scala Examples with documentation and tests. Ideally, we shouldn't have any memory leaks..it erodes trust with our users, however I understand it can take significant time and debugging effort to resolve them. Given that these leaks already exist, may be should call out on the documentation that this is a known issue and we will work on it. IMO for this case making incremental improvements to examples makes sense.
I would like to hear what others think. -Naveen On Wed, Jul 11, 2018 at 3:47 PM, Qing Lan <lanking...@live.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I would like to propose the release plan for MXNet Scala examples in V1.3. > Currently, the examples in the main repository are not maintained for a > long time.
