During a four-month period, Chenting Tang enhanced the xupefei/delta and xupefei/spark repositories by building features that improved Spark integration, Delta Lake metadata handling, and SQL schema management. He refactored DeltaLog APIs to propagate CatalogTable metadata, enabling more reliable Spark catalog interactions and streamlined data operations. Using Scala and Java, he introduced batch column alteration syntax in SQL, reducing schema migration friction and ensuring backward compatibility. Tang also focused on code quality by expanding unit test coverage and fixing status reporting bugs in ALTER COLUMN operations. His work demonstrated depth in backend development, distributed systems, and data engineering practices.

February 2025: Focused on correctness and test coverage in xupefei/spark. Fixed AlterColumnSpec resolved status reporting by accounting for the newPosition field and added unit tests to validate behavior under various scenarios; this reduces risk of incorrect status in ALTER COLUMN operations and improves downstream reliability.

January 2025 – Delivered SQL: Batch Alter for Multiple Columns in xupefei/spark, introducing a single-command syntax for altering multiple columns with validation and backward compatibility. This reduces schema-change friction, improves migration consistency, and lowers risk in production. No major bugs fixed this month; focused on feature delivery with tests and documentation (SPARK-50883).
