[DISCUSS] Apache SystemDS 2.0 Release

[Matthias Boehm]

Hi all,

I'd like to propose Aug 31 as a target date for the SystemDS 2.0 release 
(feature freeze August 21). This should gives us enough time to figure 
out the list of things that still should go into this release as it's an 
opportunity of a major for changes of external behavior. However, as 
it's the first SystemDS Apache release, I think we should still stick to 
Spark 2.x and Java 8 and consider upgrades of Spark and the JDK for 
subsequent releases. So, what do you think and any major features you'd 
like to see complete for 2.0?

Regards,
Matthias
