It's time for another DR since the new master code is about to be merged in and we have a few fixes and improvements that'd beneficiate from more exposure. I branched from trunk this morning and created a new tag. (See http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/HBaseVersions for more on what these 0.89.x releases are all about)
Source binary and source tar balls are available here: http://people.apache.org/~jdcryans/hbase-0.89.20100830-candidate-1/ You can also browse the candidate documentation here: http://people.apache.org/~jdcryans/hbase-0.89.20100830-candidate-1/hbase-0.89.20100830/docs/ Issues resolved since 0.89.20100726, our second 0.89.x release, are roughly ~23 issues odd including fixed deadlocks, better handling of IOEs during splits and improvements for filters: see http://su.pr/2HwiUe Shall we release this candidate as the third in our 0.89.x series of developer releases? Please see previous threads on 0.89 releases for more information about the purpose of this release candidate - in particular, this 'developer release' is for those who can tolerate risk and who are willing to give feedback in advance of our next major release. We're not making any guarantees that this is bug free. Its definitely not for production deploys. We'll do another release like this in a few weeks after the new master code has gone in. Please vote by Monday, September 6th. Thanks, J-D
