Hi Gabriel, +1 from my side.
We have validated Paimon vector search through Doris external tables in production: the FE does the planning with Paimon Java, and the BE executes the search natively on the splits it receives. Performance and real user feedback have both been good. This relies on functionality that landed after 2.0 - including cross-language serialization of the vector search splits - so it needs an official Paimon Java release. The proposed timeline would work well for us.
