***** The following is a draft announcement for the 1.7.4 release. If all is good, I will send to annou...@apache.org and u...@accumulo.apache.org on Monday. *****
The Apache Accumulo project is pleased to announce the release of Apache Accumulo 1.7.4! This release contains many bug fixes, performance improvements, build quality improvements, and more. This is a maintenance (patch) release. Users of any previous 1.7.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. NOTICE: As development shifts to maintaining the newer versions of Accumulo (1.9 and beyond), this will likely be the last maintenance release of the 1.7 series, so users should begin making plans to upgrade to 1.8 or later, if they haven't already. 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/accumulo-1.7.4/ Apache Accumulo® is a sorted, distributed key/value store that provides robust, scalable data storage and retrieval. With Apache Accumulo, users can store and manage large data sets across a cluster. Accumulo uses Apache Hadoop's HDFS to store its data and Apache ZooKeeper for consensus. -- The Apache Accumulo Team
