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 PR/feature want to be included.

Best,

Xiang```


I have an open PR (7684) that I would want merged for 0.9. Can we please hold for that?

Sure,  <@U02DXKP9B6C> also mentioned this.

we merged the PR we needed to go in, and I thought my changes to jsonpath would get released but I don't know what's happening there now, I would not stall for it

My changes for supporting indices on native FST will go in before Tuesday. Let's wait for it

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

Just sent the email to <mailto:dev@pinot.apache.org|dev@pinot.apache.org> for release candidate vote, please verify the RC and reply to the email for voting.
