The first release candidate for HBase 2.0.0-beta-2 is up at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-2.0.0-beta-2.RC0/
Maven artifacts are available from a staging directory here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1199 All was signed with my key at 8ACC93D2 [1] I tagged the RC as 2.0.0-beta-2RC0.2 at 9e9b347d667e1fc6165c9f8ae5ae7052147e8895 hbase-2.0.0-beta-2 is a not-for-production preview of hbase-2.0.0. It is meant for devs and downstreamers to test drive and flag us if we messed up on anything ahead of our rolling actual 2.0.0 release candidates ("GAs"). hbase-2.0.0-beta-2 is our second beta release. More than 200 fixes have gone in since beta-1. Unit tests generallly pass when run against hadoop2 and hadoop3[5]. It includes all that was in previous alphas and beta (new assignment manager, offheap read/write path, in-memory compactions, etc).The list of features addressed in 2.0.0 so far can be found here [3]. There are thousands. The list of ~3k+ fixes in 2.0.0 exclusively can be found here [4]. Our overview doc. on the state of 2.0.0 is at [6]. This beta was supposed to have as its focus rolling upgrade from hbase-1.x versions but this is work not complete (At this late stage, it is looking like it will be a post-2.0.0 project). This is our last hbase-2.0.0 beta release. Next up, we'll be rolling an actual 2.0.0 release candidate. Look for this in a week or two after beta-2 goes out, after we've done more testing and documentation (and we fix issues raised by you all against this beta). One known issue, still unaddressed, is that the User API has not been properly filtered so it shows more than just InterfaceAudience Public content (HBASE-19663, to be fixed by release). Please take this beta for a spin. Please vote on whether it ok to put out this RC as our second beta (Note CHANGES has not yet been updated). Let the VOTE be open for at least 72 hours (Lets say Wednesday morning, March 7th). Thanks, Your 2.0.0 Release Manager 1. http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x9816C7FC8ACC93D2 3. https://goo.gl/scYjJr 4. https://goo.gl/dFFT8b 5. https://builds.apache.org/job/HBase%20Nightly/job/branch-2/ <https://goo.gl/dFFT8b> 6. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WCsVlnHjJeKUcl7wHwqb4 z9iEu_ktczrlKHK8N4SZzs/
