Thank you for the nice summary and suggestion, William. I'm also +1 for cutting `branch-2.3`.
ORC-2068 has been delayed over 1 month since Apache Hadoop 3.4.3 RC0. Given that it's unclear for me that the Apache Hadoop community has a pre-defined release schedule, I'm fine to release Apache ORC 2.3 without Apache Hadoop 3.4.3. AFAIK, this is the last blocker for Java 25 support. I volunteer as the release manager of Apache ORC 2.3.0 and start to create `branch-2.3` and setup the CIs. If possible, I'll also try to include ORC-2068. BTW, Apache ORC 2.3 is the last release of 2.x line. The main branch will be 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT according to our next milestone. https://github.com/apache/orc/milestone/40 Best, Dongjoon. On 2026/02/22 06:25:42 Gang Wu wrote: > This looks good.
