+1 LoadTestTool and PE testing checks out without issues.
Unit test suite passes 25/25 times on JDK 7 and JDK 8. With JDK6, TestVisibilityLabelsWithDistributedLogReplay#testAddVisibilityLabelsOnRSRestart fails about 50% of the time. This may be fixed by HBASE-11918. Not enough to sink the RC, we had the potential for VC initialization races manifesting in earlier released versions. HBASE-11918 will be in .7.
