Hi, The Apache Kudu team is happy to announce the second release candidate for Apache Kudu 1.3.0.
Apache Kudu 1.3 is a minor release which adds various new features, improvements, bug fixes, and optimizations on top of Kudu 1.2. Highlights include significantly improved support for security, garbage collection of historical data, and lower space consumption in default configurations. Please see the release notes for details. Thanks to the 25 developers who contributed code or documentation to this release! The is a source-only release. The artifacts were staged here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/kudu/1.3.0-RC2/ Java convenience binaries in the form of a Maven repository are staged here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachekudu-1008/ (note that the Java source did not change between RC1 and RC2 so I didn't rebuild) It was built from this tag: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=kudu.git;a=commit;h=00813f96b9cb0c9ec57a17e5c85242f7679db0e0 The release notes can be found here (some links from this document will only work when this version is released): *https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/branch-1.3.x/docs/release_notes.adoc <https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/branch-1.3.x/docs/release_notes.adoc>* KEYS file: http://www.apache.org/dist/kudu/KEYS I'd suggest going through the README, building Kudu, and running the unit tests.
