The first release candidate for HBase 2.0.0-beta-1 is up at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-2.0.0-beta-1-RC0/
Maven artifacts are available from a staging directory here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1188 All was signed with my key at 8ACC93D2 [1] I tagged the RC as 2.0.0-beta-1-RC0 (0907563eb72697b394b8b960fe54887d6ff304fd) hbase-2.0.0-beta-1 is our first beta release. It includes all that was in previous alphas (new assignment manager, offheap read/write path, in-memory compactions, etc.). The APIs and feature-set are sealed. hbase-2.0.0-beta-1 is a not-for-production preview of hbase-2.0.0. It is meant for devs and downstreamers to test drive and flag us if we messed up on anything ahead of our rolling GAs. We are particular interested in hearing from Coprocessor developers. The list of features addressed in 2.0.0 so far can be found here [3]. There are thousands. The list of ~2k+ fixes in 2.0.0 exclusively can be found here [4] (My JIRA JQL foo is a bit dodgy -- forgive me if mistakes). I've updated our overview doc. on the state of 2.0.0 [6]. We'll do one more beta before we put up our first 2.0.0 Release Candidate by the end of January, 2.0.0-beta-2. Its focus will be making it so users can do a rolling upgrade on to hbase-2.x from hbase-1.x (and any bug fixes found running beta-1). Here is the list of what we have targeted so far for beta-2 [5]. Check it out. One knownissue is that the User API has not been properly filtered so it shows more than just InterfaceAudience Public content (HBASE-19663, to be fixed by beta-2). Please take this beta for a spin. Please vote on whether it ok to put out this RC as our first beta (Note CHANGES has not yet been updated). Let the VOTE be open for 72 hours (Monday) Thanks, Your 2.0.0 Release Manager 1. http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x9816C7FC8ACC93D2 3. https://goo.gl/scYjJr 4. https://goo.gl/dFFT8b 5. https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/HBASE/versions/12340862 6. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WCsVlnHjJeKUcl7wHwqb4z9iEu_ ktczrlKHK8N4SZzs/
