Sarutak focused on stabilizing and improving the reliability of Apache Spark’s test infrastructure, addressing persistent issues with flaky and hanging tests in the apache/spark repository. By refining interrupt handling in SparkSessionE2ESuite and replacing ForkJoinPool with a fixed thread pool, Sarutak ensured more deterministic and cross-platform test execution. These changes, implemented using Scala, Bash, and YAML, reduced indefinite waits and improved CI feedback cycles, particularly for streaming and concurrency scenarios. The work demonstrated strong debugging and backend development skills, resulting in fewer reruns and higher confidence in test results across macOS and Linux environments over the two-month period.

September 2025: Delivered key test-stability improvements for Apache Spark with a focus on deterministic test execution and cross-platform reliability. Consolidated fixes across SparkConnectServiceSuite, SparkSessionE2ESuite, and AmmoniteTest enablement; replaced ForkJoinPool with a fixed thread pool to eliminate threading inheritance issues. Re-enabled AmmoniteTest tests in Maven builds to improve coverage and CI reliability. These changes reduced flaky failures, shortened feedback loops, and increased confidence in test results across macOS and Linux.

July 2025 — Apache Spark: Stabilized SparkSessionE2ESuite interrupt handling to prevent test hangs, improving CI reliability and reducing flaky test runs. Refined the completion-detection logic for interrupt operations, addressing SPARK-50889. The change reduces indefinite waits and accelerates feedback for streaming-related changes. Demonstrated strong debugging, patch discipline, and collaboration with the test suite.
