## **Next!**
Next release (3.10) will focus on making the v1 of the Spark Notebook and adding simpler Solr indexing on top of the general improvements.
Hue 4 design is also getting kicked in with the goal of becoming the equivalent of “Excel for Big Data”. A fresh new look, a unification of all the apps, wizards for ingesting data... will let you use the full platform (Ingest, Spark, SQL, Search) in a single UI for fast Big Data querying and prototyping!
Onwards!
