are seeking to upgrade to 1.6 should consider 1.6.2 the starting point over

+<h3 id="only-first-zookeeper-server-is-used">Only first ZooKeeper server is
used</h3>
+<p>In constructing a <code>ZooKeeperInstance</code>, the user provides a
comma-separated list of addresses for ZooKeeper
+servers. 1.6.0 and 1.6.1 incorrectly truncated the provided list of ZooKeeper
servers used to the first. This
+would cause clients to fail when the first ZooKeeper server in the list became
unavailable and not properly
+load balance requests to all available servers in the quorum. <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3218";>ACCUMULO-3218</a>
fixes the parsing of
+the ZooKeeper quorum list to use all servers, not just the first.</p>
+<h3 id="incorrectly-handled-zookeeper-exception">Incorrectly handled ZooKeeper
exception</h3>
+<p>Use of ZooKeeper's API requires very careful exception handling as some
thrown exceptions from the ZooKeeper
+API are considered "normal" and must be retried by the client. In 1.6.1,
Accumulo improved its handling of
+these "expected failures" to better insulate calls to ZooKeeper; however, the
wrapper which sets data to a ZNode
+incorrectly handled all cases. <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3448";>ACCUMULO-3448</a>
fixed the implementation of <code>ZooUtil.putData(...)</code> to handle
+the expected error conditions correctly.</p>
+<h3 id="scanid-is-not-set-in-activescan"><code>scanId</code> is not set in
<code>ActiveScan</code></h3>
+<p>The <code>ActiveScan</code> class is the returned object by
<code>InstanceOperations.listScans</code>. This class represents a
+"scan" running on Accumulo servers, either from a <code>Scanner</code> or
<code>BatchScanner</code>. The <code>ActiveScan</code> class
+is meant to represent all of the information that represents the scan and can
be useful to administrators
+or DevOps-types to observe and act on scans which are running for excessive
periods of time. <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-2641";>ACCUMULO-2641</a>
+fixes <code>ActiveScan</code> to ensure that the internal identifier
<code>scanId</code> is properly set.</p>
