We've got a lot of great stuff (mostly bug fixes) already checked in for 4.9.0. Please let me know if you have any outstanding JIRAs you'd like to see in the release. Here's a few that are under review and are expected to make it in: PHOENIX-6 Support ON DUPLICATE KEY construct PHOENIX-476 Support declaration of DEFAULT in CREATE statement
These will hopefully have a patch today and make it in too: PHOENIX-3326 Restoring SYSTEM.CATALOG from snapshot causes clients to run into UpgradeInProgressException PHOENIX-3407 Wrong type of RowLock acquired by MetaDataEndPointImpl for HBase 1.2 PHOENIX-3396 Valid Multi-byte strings whose total byte size is greater than the max char limit cannot be inserted into VARCHAR fields in the PK Thanks, James
