The 2nd HBase 0.98.14 release candidate (RC1) is available for download at http://people.apache.org/~apurtell/0.98.14RC1/ and Maven artifacts are also available in the temporary repositories https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1110/ (hadoop 1) and https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1111/ (hadoop 2). Sorry, Nexus split the uploads into two staging repositories this time.
The API compatibility report with respect to the previous release can be found at http://people.apache.org/~apurtell/0.98.13_0.98.14RC1_compat_report.html . There is one change of note. We make the constructor of AuthUtil private to prevent instantiation. This is a class containing only public static helper methods so hiding the constructor does not present a compatibility problem, nobody should be instantiating the class, and is good practice. Signed with my code signing key D5365CCD. The issues resolved in this release can be found at http://s.apache.org/A51. Please try out the candidate and vote +1/0/-1. This vote will be open for at least 72 hours. Unless objection I will try to close it Saturday 8/29/2015 if we have sufficient votes. 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)
