The 1st HBase 0.98.17 release candidate (RC0) is available for download at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-0.98.17RC0 and Maven artifacts are also available in the temporary repository https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1123/ .
The detailed source and binary compatibility report for this release with respect to the previous is available for your review at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-0.98.17RC0/0.98.16.1_0.98.17RC0_compat_report.html . There is one change of note to the RpcServer LimitedPrivate(COPROC,PHOENIX)/Evolving interface that I believe is acceptable and have confirmed does not impact downstream coprocessors who implement RPC schedulers like Apache Phoenix. The 55 issues resolved in this release can be found at http://s.apache.org/F4Q . I have made the following preliminary assessments of this candidate: - Build with source artifact with RAT and enforcers enabled (-Prelease) completes successfully - Unit test suite passes (7u79) - Loaded 1M rows with LTT, no errors or unexpected messages observed, all keys verified, latencies within expected range - Build and unit tests with head of Apache Phoenix 4.x-HBase-0.98 branch passes (7u79) Signed with my new signing key 4B6D7DF3. Please try out the candidate and vote +1/0/-1. This vote will be open for at least 72 hours. Unless objection I will try to close it Friday January 22, 2016 if we have sufficient votes. 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)
