+--- + +* [HBASE-30195](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-30195) | *Major* | **Update Thrift gateway to use new hbase-shaded-thrift in thirdparty** + +The HBase Thrift gateway no longer depends on upstream libthrift. The Thrift runtime is now provided by org.apache.hbase.thirdparty:hbase-shaded-thrift, shipped in hbase-thirdparty 4.1.14 or later. Decoupling from upstream libthrift lets HBase stay current with Thrift CVE fixes on its own cadence and preserves 2.5.x/2.6.x Java 8 compatibility regardless of upstream libthrift's evolving requirements. As part of this change the Thrift runtime is upgraded from 0.14.1 to 0.23.0. Generated Ja [...] + +Wire compatibility is preserved. The Thrift IDL, RPC wire format, server endpoints, configuration keys, and CLI behavior of the HBase Thrift 1 and Thrift 2 servers are unchanged. Existing external Thrift clients in any language continue to interoperate with the HBase Thrift gateway with no changes required. + + +--- + +* [HBASE-30200](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-30200) | *Major* | **Cleanup all junit4 references in hbase code base** + +Cleanup all the junit4 reference in HBase code base and ban junit4 dependencies and imports. + +Hadoop mini cluster related code still references junit4 Assert, so we add a org.junit.Assert class in hbase-common which delegates all calls to junit5 Assertions.
