Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary: Delivered a critical stability improvement to the DLO Strategy pipeline in linkedin/openhouse by replacing Spark-based file statistics processing with a Java stream to fix a Spark lambda deserialization error. This change eliminates problematic lambda execution inside Spark executors, enhances debuggability, and reduces runtime failures in the DLO strategy generation flow. The change is tracked in commit dad6f0c8cfeb74bfaad629ada11539b867a727fa (Fix spark logic in DLO strategy generation (#293)).

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 – linkedin/openhouse: Delivered data reliability and cross-version Spark CTAS improvements, establishing stronger performance visibility and regression resistance. Implemented per-table delete file statistics alongside existing data file statistics to guide targeted compaction and prevent performance degradation. Expanded Spark CTAS testing to ensure non-nullable constraints are preserved across Spark versions, and refactored the test harness to support configurable Spark sessions, enabling multi-version validation.
