It's come to my attention that there have been several bug fixes merged since RC3:
- SPARK-12404 - Fix serialization error for Datasets with Timestamps/Arrays/Decimal - SPARK-12218 - Fix incorrect pushdown of filters to parquet - SPARK-12395 - Fix join columns of outer join for DataFrame using - SPARK-12413 - Fix mesos HA Normally, these would probably not be sufficient to hold the release, however with the holidays going on in the US this week, we don't have the resources to finalize 1.6 until next Monday. Given this delay anyway, I propose that we cut one final RC with the above fixes and plan for the actual release first thing next week. I'll post RC4 shortly and cancel this vote if there are no objections. Since this vote nearly passed with no major issues, I don't anticipate any problems with RC4.
