All- The Accumulo team is proud to announce the release of Accumulo version 1.6.6! This release contains changes from more than 40 issues, comprised of bug-fixes, performance improvements, build quality improvements, and more. This is a maintenance (patch) release. Users of any previous 1.6.x release are strongly encouraged to update as soon as possible to benefit from the improvements with very little concern in change of underlying functionality.
As of this release, active development has ceased for the 1.6 release line, so users should consider upgrading to a newer, actively maintained version when they can. While the developers may release another 1.6 version to address a severe issue, there’s a strong possibility that this will be the last 1.6 release. This would also mean that this is the last version to support Java 6 and Hadoop 1. This version is now available in Maven Central, and at: https://accumulo.apache.org/downloads/ The full release notes can be viewed at: http://accumulo.apache.org/release_notes/1.6.6 The Apache Accumulo™ sorted, distributed key/value store is a robust, scalable, high performance data storage system that features cell-based access control and customizable server-side processing. It is based on Google's BigTable design and is built on top of Apache Hadoop, Apache ZooKeeper, and Apache Thrift. -- The Apache Accumulo Team
