The first hbase 0.92.1 release candidate is available for download: http://people.apache.org/~stack/hbase-0.92.1-candidate-0/
I've posted a secure and an insecure tarball built by jenkins. This is for the most part a bug fix release. Here is what has been fixed since 0.92.0: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310753&version=12318551 You can do a rolling restart to get your 0.92.0 HBase up on this RC. Should we release this candidate as hbase 0.92.1? Take it for a spin. Check out the doc. Vote +1/-1 by March 16th, 2012. Yours, St.Ack
