Worked on the apache/spark repository to enhance test reliability and maintain backward compatibility in Spark SQL. Addressed a regression in HiveExternalCatalogVersionsSuite by refining version parsing logic and updating regex handling, ensuring backward compatibility tests functioned correctly with new artifact paths. Improved CI stability by fixing a unit test in ReloadingX509TrustManagerSuite, replacing hardcoded file handling with Java’s File.createTempFile() to prevent cross-device link errors across different filesystems. Demonstrated expertise in Java, Scala, Spark, and testing infrastructure, focusing on robust test code and artifact-path parsing. These targeted bug fixes reduced CI flakiness and improved the reliability of automated test suites.
January 2026: Focused on stabilizing test reliability for Apache Spark by delivering a targeted unit test fix in the ReloadingX509TrustManagerSuite. Replaced a hardcoded temporary file approach with File.createTempFile() to avoid cross-device link errors when moving files across mounted filesystems, improving CI stability across environments (including JDK 21 and JDK 17). This change is aligned with SPARK-55290 and reduces test flakiness, enabling faster and more predictable PR validation.

June 2025: Focused on stabilizing backward-compatibility tests for HiveExternalCatalogVersionsSuite in Spark SQL. Delivered a targeted fix to version parsing to handle new artifact paths, ensuring backward compatibility tests run reliably in CI and eliminating a regression caused by a regex that produced empty PROCESS_TABLES.testingVersions.
