dongjoon-hyun opened a new pull request, #53361: URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/53361
### What changes were proposed in this pull request? This PR aims to promote `RequiresDistributionAndOrdering` and its required interfaces to `Evolving` from `Experimental`. ### Why are the changes needed? Since Apache Spark 3.2.0, `RequiresDistributionAndOrdering` and its required interfaces have been served stably over 4 years like the following. - #30706 | Interface | Description | | - | - | | org.apache.spark.sql.connector.distributions.ClusteredDistribution | Unchange | | org.apache.spark.sql.connector.distributions.Distribution | Unchange | | org.apache.spark.sql.connector.distributions.Distributions | Unchange | | org.apache.spark.sql.connector.distributions.OrderedDistribution | Unchange | | org.apache.spark.sql.connector.distributions.UnspecifiedDistribution | Unchange | | org.apache.spark.sql.connector.expressions.NullOrdering | No Functional Change | | org.apache.spark.sql.connector.expressions.SortDirection | No Functional Change | | org.apache.spark.sql.connector.expressions.SortOrder | No Functional Change | | org.apache.spark.sql.connector.write.RequiresDistributionAndOrdering | Stably Evolving | In Apache Spark 4.2.0, we had better promote this as `Evolving` because these are no longer `Experimental`. ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? No. ### How was this patch tested? Pass the CIs and manual review. ### Was this patch authored or co-authored using generative AI tooling? No. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service. To respond to the message, please log on to GitHub and use the URL above to go to the specific comment.
