The HBase Team is pleased to announce the immediate release of HBase 0.99.0. Download it from your favorite Apache mirror [1] or maven repository.
THIS RELEASE IS NOT INTENDED FOR PRODUCTION USE, and does not contain any backwards or forwards compatibility guarantees (even within minor versions 0.99.x). Please refrain from deploying this over important data. Use latest 0.98.x release instead. HBase 0.99.0 is a "developer preview" release, and an odd-numbered release as defined in [2]. A series of of 0.99.x releases are planned in preparation for 1.0.0 release which will be the next stable and supported release. Please use this release as a test bed for the upcoming HBase-1.0 release. Report any encountered problems or features that you think need fixing before 1.0. This release also contains some API changes, and deprecation of older APIs which won't be supported in 2.0 series. Please give them a try and let us know what you think. The list of changes in this release can be found in the release notes [3] and a higher level summary can be found at [4]. Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release!
