The Cassandra team is pleased to announce the release of the second release candidate for the future Apache Cassandra 2.0.0.
As a release candidate, we're working to establish that this is relatively free of obvious bugs before calling it Done. Bottom line, if you aren't willing to test pre-production software and report bugs[3], you should probably wait for the final release. Apache Cassandra 2.0.0-rc2[5] is available as usual from the cassandra website (http://cassandra.apache.org/download/) and a debian package is available using the 20x branch (see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/DebianPackaging). Thank you for your help in testing and have fun with it.
