In anticipation of the first HBase 1.5 release next month, 1.5.0, I have begun publishing weekly (ish) snapshots. Artifacts are available in Apache's snapshots repository and source and binary tarballs can be downloaded from https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-1.5.0-SNAPSHOT/ . These artifacts are a byproduct of a pre-release RM process and so will be updated frequently, but possibly not daily, up until we have a 1.5.0 release some time in January 2019 (hopefully).
Please note this is not a release and not an official artifact of the Apache HBase project, nor the Apache HBase PMC, nor the Apache Software Foundation. This is a set of convenience artifacts made available to HBase developers and potential adopters with no guarantees or warranties. They are not suitable for production usage. They have not undergone any release testing, release process, or formal vote. Should you deploy them in a real application you may need to employ an Einstein-Rosen bridge (if you prefer science fiction) or a seance (if you prefer the fantastic) to recover your data. -- Best regards, Andrew Words like orphans lost among the crosstalk, meaning torn from truth's decrepit hands - A23, Crosstalk
