Github user srowen commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/16281 Has anyone even asked for a new 1.8.x build from Parquet and been told it won't happen? You don't stop consuming non fix changes by forking. You do that by staying on a maintenance branch. If that branch is maintained of course. I'd be shocked if there were important bugs affecting a major ASF project and no way to get a maintenance release of a recent branch. Esp when we have experts here with influence. What does this block - why the urgency?
