When will the Spark Cassandra connector with support for Spark 3.3 be released?

Question

Master branch has a merged pull request supporting Spark 3.3 how long before this gets built and published on maven repository?

Answer 1

From looking at the project a bit, it appears that the project maintainers are awaiting to include support for Scala 2.13.

See here for the comment,

jtgrabowski commented Jan 2, 2023 7:33 AM EST - I asked the author for a followup, if there is no movement for a couple of days I'll release without 2.13 support.

tl;dr -- wait for a couple additional days and you'll get the release or feel free to ping that PR if you need it immediately (as already suggested by Alexey Ott).

Answer 2

Jaroslaw Grabovski mentioned in PR #1351 (for SPARKC-693) that the preference is to include support for Scala 2.13 in the new release.

I noted that Jaroslaw also reviewed PR #1349 last week which provides support for Scala 2.13 (SPARKC-686) and requested some changes. Marquis Wong made the necessary updates to the PR over the weekend so it's up for review.

Provided it passes the tests, I envision both tickets will make it to the next release in the coming days. There is no scheduled ETA given it is an open-source project and subject to availability of community contributors.

For what it's worth, I've reached out to Jaroslaw and will update my answer if appropriate. Cheers!

UPDATE Jan 14: Spark Cassandra connector 3.3 with support for Apache Spark 3.3 has been released.
