Worked on the apache/incubator-gluten repository to advance Spark 4.1 readiness while maintaining compatibility with Spark 4.0. Led the unified migration to Spark 4.1 by introducing Spark41Shims, updating code structure, and aligning the test suite across core modules. Addressed compatibility issues in gluten-core, gluten-substrait, and related backends, ensuring smooth runtime and test harness integration. Updated build configurations and CI workflows to support new dependency and Scala version requirements. Developed targeted unit tests for Spark 4.0 group-by and aggregate operations, balancing comprehensive validation with upgrade constraints. Utilized Java, Scala, and build configuration expertise to stabilize the backend development process.
January 2026 monthly summary for Apache Gluten (apache/incubator-gluten): Focused on advancing Spark 4.1 readiness and reinforcing cross-version compatibility, with a parallel plan for preserving 4.0 coverage. Key achievements: - Spark 4.1 migration completed: unified migration to Spark 4.1 with Spark41Shims, code renames, compatibility shim, and aligned 4.1 test suite across core gluten modules. - Extensive 4.1 compatibility fixes: implemented fixes across gluten-core, gluten-substrait, backends-velox, shims, and GlutenUT to support Spark 4.1 runtime and test harness changes. - Build and test pipeline stabilization: updated build configuration and CI/test workflows to accommodate Spark 4.1 UT and related dependency changes (e.g., Parquet version, Scala version adjustments). - 4.0 Unit Tests for Gluten introduced: added unit tests for Spark 4.0 focusing on group-by and aggregate operations to verify Gluten compatibility during migration. - Test coverage and risk reduction: targeted test exclusions and test settings updates to balance comprehensive validation with Spark 4.1 compatibility constraints.
