    The decision had been already made for IBM Spectrum Conductor to have next implementation for Spark 3.3.x

    as the most advanced version which also uses latest log4j version 2.x (which is fixing the latest security vulnerabilities found in log4j libraries).

    Currently Spark community released version 3.3.0 (in June 2022) but because we have policy to adapt to Conductor only “non-zero” minor versions,

    so we’re waiting for Spark 3.3.1 release from community likely in the end of this year.
