  Fluid manages Kubernetes resources (Statefulsets, PersistentVolumeClaims & PersistentVolume, etc.) under two Fluid custom resources CR called Dataset and Runtime. Given a pair of Dataset and Runtime CR, users may want to inspect the underlying resources, check their status and diagnose which part is going wrong. A CLI tool (e.g. a kubectl plugin) for Fluid would be a straightforward way for Fluid's users to easily get such information.

  CNCF - Fluid: Extend cache runtime interface for full data lifecycle (2026 Term 1) Description：Fluid’s existing Generic Cache Runtime interface will be extended to support the complete lifecycle of data operations, including data loading, data processing workflows, and cache-aware data mutations. Additionally, the interface will be enhanced to enable in-place cache upgrades and in-place cache rebuilds—allowing runtime updates and recovery without disrupting workloads or requiring dataset re-provisioning.

  To enhance code quality, maintainability, and developer experience, Fluid plans to migrate its unit testing framework from Testify to Ginkgo + Gomega—a more expressive and behavior-driven testing stack widely adopted in the Go ecosystem. Concurrently, we aim to significantly improve unit test (UT) coverage, raising it from the current 57% to at least 75%, thereby reducing regression risks and strengthening overall system reliability
