Hi, We're happy to announce the first release candidate for Apache Kudu (incubating) 0.8.0.
We are doing time-based releases leading up to 1.0.0 towards the end of the summer, with one 0.x.0 release every two months. The is a source-only release. The artifacts were staged here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/kudu/0.8.0-RC1/ It was built from this tag: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-kudu.git;a=commit;h=7874185b07198267229c1cc921b21549ea16cf53 The release notes can be found here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-kudu/blob/master/docs/release_notes.adoc#rn_0.8.0 KEYS file: http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/kudu/KEYS I'd suggest going through the README, building Kudu, and running the unit tests. Please try the release and vote; vote will be open for at least 72 hours. Thanks, J-D
