Hi, I want to confirm if Spark Pool 3.5 runtime is still supported with Hyperspace?

I've checked release information but have not found anywhere mentioned if Hyperspace is still supported, the last version I see it still support is Spark Pool 3.2 https://github.com/microsoft/synapse-spark-runtime/blob/main/Synapse/spark3.2/Official-Spark3.2-Rel-2024-08-07.0-rc.1.md

And in this document it only mentions about version 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and not 3.5: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/synapse-analytics/spark/apache-spark-performance-hyperspace?pivots=programming-language-python

    Hyperspace is not supported with Azure Synapse Runtime for Apache Spark 3.5.

    The Hyperspace documentation explicitly states that:

    • Hyperspace is supported in Azure Synapse Runtime for Apache Spark 3.1 and 3.2.
    • Hyperspace is not supported in Azure Synapse Runtime for Apache Spark 3.3 (GA).

    There is no mention of Hyperspace support for newer runtimes such as 3.4 or 3.5, and the only supported versions listed are 3.1 and 3.2. Therefore, Hyperspace is not supported on the current GA runtime, Azure Synapse Runtime for Apache Spark 3.5.

    For new or upgraded workloads, the recommended path is to move to the latest GA runtime (3.5) for general Spark improvements, but without Hyperspace.
