I have made a patch release that adds only HBASE-12979 (commit 75d0855) to the 0.98.10 release (commit b18bc4b), to fix an inconvenient and difficult to detect binary compatibility issue affecting our sister project Apache Phoenix. The changes are minimal over the 0.98.10 release so it should only be necessary to take a brief moment to inspect the packaging and then cast a vote on the patch release.
The release candidate is available for download at http://people.apache.org/~apurtell/0.98.10.1RC0/ and Maven artifacts are also available in the temporary repository https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1064 In Git the source for the release can be checked out using the tag "0.98.10.1RC0" (d5014b4) Signed with my code signing key D5365CCD. The issues resolved in this release are: HBASE-12979 - Use setters instead of return values for handing back statistics from HRegion methods Pleas e vote +1/-1 by midnight Pacific Time (00:00 -0800 GMT) on February 13 on whether or not we should release this as 0.98.10 .1 . Three +1 votes from PMC will be required to release. -- Best regards, - Andy Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by hitting back. - Piet Hein (via Tom White)
