Hi Paimon community, The Paimon community has made substantial and impressive progress on full-text and vector indexing capabilities recently. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this work.
On the Apache Doris side, we are working to enable full-text retrieval and vector search over Paimon tables through Doris external tables. These capabilities are required by real production use cases, and we need an official Paimon Java release containing the latest indexing functionality to move the Doris-on-Paimon integration and production validation forward. The latest official Paimon release is currently 2.0.0, while the master branch is using 2.1-SNAPSHOT. Would the community consider preparing a Paimon 2.1.0 release and, if feasible, making it available before September 15, 2026? An earlier release would be very helpful for our Doris development schedule and would allow us to validate these capabilities in real production environments. Please let us know whether this timeline would be feasible and whether there are any release blockers we could help address. We would be happy to test the release candidate, verify the relevant functionality, and provide feedback from the Doris integration. Thanks for your consideration. Best regards, Gabriel Apache Doris
