December 2025 monthly summary for lakekeeper/lakekeeper. Focused on documentation accuracy and onboarding reliability with a targeted fix to the Getting-Started path. No new features were delivered this month; however, a critical documentation correction improved developer onboarding by ensuring correct directory paths to access examples and docker-compose files, reducing setup friction. The change is linked to commit d97b32abafb28c3beaa5acab07ad4af335ab347d and aligns with issue/PR #1548. This groundwork supports faster onboarding, better maintainability, and a consistent contributor experience.

March 2025 performance summary for the Apache DataFusion Comet integration. Delivered a feature enhancement that improves execution plan readability by introducing explicit node names for CometSpark components. This includes CometSparkColumnarToColumnar (columnar inputs) and CometSparkRowToColumnar (row-based inputs), making execution plans clearer and more actionable for debugging and performance tuning. A commit-standardization effort was applied to override node naming for CometSparkToColumnar (see commit fa5910efd927e115d1717b5f0c78fad0ece75c6c). No major user-facing bugs were reported in this period; the focus was feature work that directly enhances plan visibility and developer productivity.
