Hey devs, It's almost time for 0.8.0, I'd like to get a first RC out in a week on April 1st (but more realistically it might happen the 4th). I will create the branch on March 30th.
The release note-worthy items that have been committed since 0.7.0 that aren't in 0.7.1: - RPC and application feature flags - KUDU-1337 Avoid spurious remote bootstraps on DeleteTablet() - Fixed the Spark shutdown bug - KUDU-1322 failover writes on tablet not found in the C++ client - KUDU-969. Fix handling of crashes just before tablet metadata flush - KUDU-1354. Writes should not release locks before committing MVCC - master: don't expose intermediate CreateTable() state to consumers The things that are still in flight that I really want to get in: - Partition pruning in the C++ client and improvements on the server-side. http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/2413/ - [java-client] implement ColumnPredicate API http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/2591/ - KUDU-1235. Add Get API http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/2519/ Anything else that comes in is gravy, but I think the scan token API integration in the Java client needs more thinking. I think Dan is supposed to send an email to dev@ about it. What do you devs think? J-D
