Thank you for making a PR, @gedeh . However, this PR is invalid in a few ways. 1. SPARK-29670 is closed as `Duplicated`. You cannot ask a backport of unmerged JIRA. 2. The actual merged JIRA for feature is SPARK-24203 which was an `Improvement` at Apache Spark 3.0.0. Apache Spark community have a general policy which allows bug-fix backporting only. So, we cannot backport a new feature because we need to protect old branches. 3. Lastly, 2.4.8 was the EOL release already. Here is some explanation for that. - https://spark.apache.org/versioning-policy.html > The last minor release within a major a release will typically be maintained for longer as an “LTS” release. For example, 2.4.0 was released in November 2nd 2018 and had been maintained for 31 months until 2.4.8 was released on May 2021. 2.4.8 is the last release and no more 2.4.x releases should be expected even for bug fixes. Given that the above reasons, could you close this PR, @gedeh ? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
