The first HBase 1.3.3 release candidate (RC0) is available for download at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-1.3.3RC0/ and Maven artifacts are available in the temporary repository https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1244/
The git tag corresponding to the candidate is '1.3.3RC0' (a75a458e0c). A detailed source and binary compatibility report for this release is available at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-1.3.3RC0/compat-check-report.html . I believe there are no reported compatibility issues that are out of policy, justifiable, or have not been previously discussed, like the removal of Base64. Please review and raise any concerns if you have them. A list of the 174 issues resolved in this release can be found at https://s.apache.org/uKCX . Please try out the candidate and vote +1/0/-1. The vote will be open for at least 72 hours. Unless objection I will try to close it Friday December 21, 2018 if we have sufficient votes.
