Hey Jiadong,
Cool, thanks for addressing that issue with the tag so quickly.
I'm a little surprised about the release being source-only. I noticed
some github workflows relating to docker image creation and some
images here: https://hub.docker.com/u/apache?page=1&search=texera
I would also apply my comment about the tag here- I noticed some with
v1.10-incubating as a version. I think that's misleading when it's an
RC (or perhaps not even, in those cases).
What is the reasoning behind making the release source-only?
