Signed with my code signing key D5365CCD. The issues resolved in this release can be found here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=12310753&version=12327376 This candidate contains a significant backported change, ZK-less region assignment (HBASE-11546), thanks to the heavy lifting of Virag Kothari (and original contributors Jimmy Xiang and Virag Kothari). The new code will not be active unless the configuration setting " hbase.assignment.usezk" is set to ' false '. If possible please consider testing with this configuration change on a cluster and/or with the integration tests. Please try out the candidate and vote +1/-1 by midnight Pacific Time (00:00 -0800 GMT) on September 2 on whether or not we should release this as 0.98. 6 . Three +1 votes from PMC will be required to release. -- Best regards, - Andy Problems worthy of attack prove their worth by hitting back. - Piet Hein (via Tom White)
