We are almost ready to make the announcement of the 1.8.0 release. If anyone has a few minutes, please review http://apache.github.io/accumulo/ and especially http://apache.github.io/accumulo/release_notes/1.8.0. I pushed artifacts to dist.apache.org yesterday and the 5 mirrors I checked have a copy. As best I can tell, everything is complete on http://accumulo.apache.org/releasing except 2 things: -- push the gh-pages branch to the asf-site branch to make the new site live -- send out the release announcement to user, dev and announce.
Here is my draft of the announcement ----------- The Accumulo team is proud to announce the release of Accumulo version 1.8.0 ! Accumulo 1.8.0 is a minor release that includes over 200 bug fixes, 71 improvements and 4 new features. This release is backwards-compatible with 1.7.x. This version is now available in Maven Central, and at: https://accumulo.apache.org/downloads/ The full release notes can be viewed at: https://accumulo.apache.org/release_notes/1.8.0.html <https://accumulo.apache.org/release_notes/1.7.2.html> 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 ----------- Thanks On Mon, Sep 5, 2016 at 9:07 PM, Michael Wall <[email protected]> wrote: > This vote passes with five +1's.
