Hi Bigtop! Just a heads up, HBase recently went to work cleaning house on our licensing[1]. As a part of cleaning things up for our source and binary artifacts we discovered that one of our runtime dependencies bundles works covered by an uncategorized license[2]. Since we make a convenience binary artifact that bundles all dependencies, we've been holding off releases pending a judgement or some mitigation.
If y'all release convenience binary artifacts that include the HBase shell and its required jruby-complete jar, this impacts you as well. [1]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-14085 [2]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-222 -- Sean
