The second release in a series of "Development" releases, hbase-0.95.1 is available for download from your favorite Apache mirror. See:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/hbase/ (It may take a few hours for the release to show up everywhere) About 270 issues have been closed against this 0.95.1 since 0.95.0. For the full list of issues fixed see: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310753&version=12324288 (For a bigger list of issues fixed in 0.95.0, see [1] below). Development series releases like this hbase-0.95.1, are "rough cuts" taken from the branch that will eventually yield our next stable offering, hbase-0.96.0, the release that will replace the 0.94.x series. We are putting out a "Development" series [2] to start the feedback loop cycling early before 0.96 hardens completely. Please download this release and try it out; let us know what you think, what is missing, and what needs fixing before we can consider calling it stable. Comments are welcome along any dimension from packaging (in particular how we have packaged up what we have published to maven) and layout through to UI and documentation. Be aware that development series releases are barely-tested product and come with no guarantees. We make no promises that the next release in this series will be compatible with this one, 0.95.1, nor even that you will be able to preserve data across the update (This is at an extreme, and highly unlikely, but could be the case). No work has been done to make it so you can migrate from 0.94.x HBase. Development series releases are not for production deploy. Thanks, Your HBase Team 1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310753&version=12324094 2. http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#hbase.development.series
