+1 (binding)

Verified on Linux (Ubuntu, JDK 17, Python 3.11):

- Signatures: every artifact (source, the three binary distributions, the
pyspark/pyspark_client/pyspark_connect tarballs, and SparkR) has a good GPG
signature from the RM key 709226B910E0F10917123B6259B586ADA5A538D1, which
is in KEYS.
- Checksums: SHA512 matches for all artifacts.- Tag/commit: v4.2.0-rc4
resolves to f92a807c06b, and the RELEASE metadata embedded in the binary
distributions records the same git revision.
- Source build: compiled and packaged spark-core and its module
dependencies from the source tarball with ./build/mvn on JDK 17 (BUILD
SUCCESS).
- Binary distribution: ran SparkPi and a spark-shell Scala job (range
aggregation + Spark SQL) — results correct.
- PySpark: pip-installed pyspark-4.2.0.tar.gz and ran DataFrame, Spark SQL,
and a Python UDF in local mode — results correct.

Thanks Huaxin for driving the release!
