Month: 2025-10. Focus: Enhancements to TrinoHudiStorage in trinodb/trino. Implemented robust handling for empty directories by adding checks for directory existence across both hierarchical and non-hierarchical filesystems, ensuring accurate error reporting and correct functionality when empty directories are encountered. This work improves reliability of Hudi-backed queries and reduces runtime failures in edge cases.

August 2025 monthly summary for logicalclocks/hopsworks-api. Delivered two key feature improvements aimed at platform stability and configurability, with traceable commits and clear business value. Key features delivered: - Hadoop upgrade: Upgraded the Hadoop version used by hopsworks-api to 3.2.0.17-EE-RC1 (HOPSFS-268). Commit: e2640de26ddd70b0fc15ed5f937d3e1601d231a7. Expected benefits include access to newer features, bug fixes, and performance improvements from the updated distribution. - Spark S3A configuration forwarding: Implemented forwarding of all fs.s3a.* options to Hadoop from Spark, including endpoint and region (HOPSFS-273). Commit: c6014dcf137682e334b19557cdeb1acbf45eb320. Increases configurability and compatibility for S3A storage in Spark jobs. Major bugs fixed: - No explicit bug fixes were recorded for this repository in August 2025; the period focused on upgrade and configurability enhancements that indirectly improve stability and reliability. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Platform stability and performance are enhanced through the Hadoop upgrade, with downstream benefits across data processing workloads. - S3A storage workflows in Spark are more robust and configurable, reducing setup friction and misconfiguration risk. - Clear traceability to Jira tickets and commits (HOPSFS-268, HOPSFS-273) supports maintainability and audits. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Hadoop and Spark ecosystem, version management, and configuration propagation. - Cross-repo collaboration, release engineering, and Jira ticket tracing. - Focus on business value: reliability, configurability, and operational efficiency.
