Thank you, it looks good to me. As a release manager of Apache ORC 1.7.4, I would like to discuss the release of 1.7.4. We have the following patches already.
ORC-236: Support `UNION` type in Java Convert tool (#1025) ORC-1117: Add `Dask` page at `Using in Python` section (#1045) ORC-1116: [C++] Fix csv-import tool when exporting long bytes (#1044) ORC-1118: Support Java 17 and ARM64 docker tests (#1047) ORC-1119: Remove timestamp from ORC API docs (#1049) ORC-1123: Add estimationMemory method for writer ORC-1120: Remove C++ library limitation about write version (#1054) ORC-1121: Fix column coversion check bug which causes column filters don't work (#1055) ORC-1127: [C++] add missing version of UNSTABLE-PRE-2.0 (#1064) For me, ORC-1121 is a notable bug fix and ORC-1123 looks important because it was requested by the Iceberg community. In addition, Apache Spark is going to start v3.3.0 RC soon. Shall we release Apache ORC 1.7.4 next week in order to be included in Spark 3.3.0?
