Hi, Although I understand this is not meant to be an official release, and totally agree that getting early feedback is good, the way this is presented is confusing. The term "release candidate" and putting it under cassandra/releases makes it appear as publishing this tarball is a project decision, but I see no discussions on this dev list about putting this release candidate out. I'd be much more comfortable if you would move it under http://people.apache.org/~jbellis/, for example, to make it clear that you, as opposed to the Cassandra project, are providing a tarball for people to test. Or use the "bleeding edge" link at http://incubator.apache.org/cassandra/#download, which points to development snapshots. As is now, the potential for confusion with an Apache release (or release candidate) is too high IMO.
