Apache Pinot

```Hi all,

I plan to cut Pinot 0.9.0 release next Tuesday EOD (Nov 9) from current master branch.

Please let me know if you have any pending bug fixing/PR/features want to be included. Feel free to discuss this on #pinot-dev channel.

Best,

Xiang```

Thanks <@UGRJA9TEH>. cc: <@U02BE3NN5U7> since you were asking

That's awesome, folks! Any chances to slip in the truncation or synchronous drop-table, for reliable integration tests?

How we can see which features will be included in the 0.9 release?

<https://github.com/apache/pinot/pull/7252|https://github.com/apache/pinot/pull/7252>
is this feaure going to be included in 0.9.0?

<@U02JD4C8ZM0> no, it’s still blocked by the reviewers, have you addressed all the comments there ?

<@U02JMQ7FWRL> We will provide he changelogs soon, in short, all current commits in master branch after 0.8.0 release will be included.

you can run `git  log  release-0.8.0...HEAD --pretty=oneline` to see the list

<@U02BE3NN5U7> do you have any issue or pr associated this? For Table Drop I think the server side work is still async.

<@UGRJA9TEH> there's a bunch of tickets related to table truncation, which would be the ideal solution, but for table synchronous dropping there's no ticket yet that I know of, just a bit of conversation with other folks here. Should I raise a ticket for that?

yes please <@U02BE3NN5U7> thanks for point it out.

Just fyi, I will prepare the 0.9.0 release candidate based on commit <https://github.com/apache/pinot/commit/13c9ee9556498bb6dc4ab60734743edb8b89773c|13c9ee9>.
