The Apache Kudu team is happy to announce the release of Kudu 1.3.0. Kudu is an open source storage engine for structured data which supports low-latency random access together with efficient analytical access patterns. It is designed within the context of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem and supports many integrations with other data analytics projects both inside and outside of the Apache Software Foundation.
Apache Kudu 1.3 is a minor release which adds various new features, improvements, bug fixes, and optimizations on top of Kudu 1.2. Highlights include: - significantly improved support for security, including Kerberos authentication, TLS encryption, and coarse-grained (cluster-level) authorization - automatic garbage collection of historical versions of data - lower space consumption and better performance in default configurations.
