The 1st HBase 0.98.11 release candidate (RC0) is available for download at http://people.apache.org/~apurtell/0.98.11RC0/ and Maven artifacts are also available in the temporary repository https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1067/
The API compatibility report with respect to the previous release can be found at http://people.apache.org/~apurtell/0.98.10.1_0.98.11RC0_compat_report.html . The Public/Evolving class ServerLoad had the return type of two methods changed from 'int' to 'long'. This change was introduced by HBASE-12961 and fixes an integer overflow bug in request metrics, see discussion on that issue. The contract for 'Evolving' says incompatible changes are allowed in minor releases. Signed with my code signing key D5365CCD. The issues resolved in this release can be found at http://s.apache.org/Glh Please try out the candidate and vote +1/-1 by midnight Pacific Time (00:00 -0800 GMT) on March 9 on whether or not we should release this as 0.98.11. 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)
