My 2 cents, target version of new DSv2 has been only 3.0 so we don't ever have a chance to think about such requirement - that's why there's no restriction on breaking compatibility on codebase. That's not a new requirement, that's an "implicit" requirement via semantic versioning. I agree that some of APIs have been changed between Spark 2.x versions, but I guess the changes in "new" DSv2 would be bigger than summation of changes on "old" DSv2 which has been introduced across multiple minor versions. Suppose we're developers of Spark ecosystem maintaining custom data source (forget about developing Spark): I would get some official announcement on next minor version, and I want to try it out quickly to see my stuff still supports new version. When I change the dependency version everything will break. My hopeful expectation would be no issue while upgrading but turns out it's not, and even it requires new learning (not only fixing compilation failures). It would just make me giving up support Spark 2.5 or at least I won't follow up such change quickly. IMHO 3.0-techpreview has advantage here (assuming we provide maven artifacts as well as official announcement), as it can give us expectation that there're bunch of changes given it's a new major version. It also provides bunch of time to try adopting it before the version is officially released.
