The release also includes a new focus on the KnoxShell interactive shell with custom shell commands for easily leveraging JDBC/SQL (Hive and others), Filesystems (WebHDFS) and working with CSV files locally. This in the first release to focus on this area and with continued work this shell will be a client for end-to-end flows from local environments to datalake storage and processing. Much of the above has come from KIP-14 [1] proposal for KnoxShell Improvements for Tabular Data. We would like to thank all of contributors who made the release possible and to invite others interested in helping out to engage the community on the dev and users lists! --Apache Knox PMC and community 1. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KNOX/KIP-14+-+KnoxShell+Improvements+for+Tabular+Data
