The first release candidate for HBase 2.0.0-alpha-2 is up at: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-2.0.0-alpha-2RC0/
Maven artifacts are available from a staging directory here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1173 All was signed with my key at y 8ACC93D2 <http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x9816C7FC8ACC93D2> I tagged the RC as 2.0.0-alpha-2RC0 (7149f999786b6fd5a3fc1f7aec1214afb738925e) hbase-2.0.0-alpha-2 includes all that was in alpha-1 (new assignment manager, offheap read/write path, in-memory compactions, etc.) plus a return to branch-1 deploy mode where master carries no regions (branch-2 and master up to this had master carrying system tables), a purge of all checked-in generated content, updates to all dependencies including a move to rely on new hbase-thirdparty lib for relocated versions of guava, netty, and protobuf, etc. This is a rough cut ('alpha'), not-for-production preview of what hbase-2.0.0 will look like meant for devs and downstreamers to test drive and flag us early if we messed up anything ahead of our rolling GAs. The list of features addressed in 2.0.0 so far can be found here [4]. There are about 2700+. The list of ~500 fixes in 2.0.0 exclusively can be found here [3]. I've updated our overview doc. on the state of 2.0.0 [1] but JIRA 2.0.0 label [2] has undergone extensive weeding and presents a fairly good picture on what is yet to do before we 2.0.0. Check it out. Please take it for a spin and vote on whether it ok to put out as our first alpha (bar is low for an 'alpha'). Let the VOTE be open for 72 hours (Saturday) Thanks, St.Ack 1. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WCsVlnHjJeKUcl7wHwqb4z9iEu_ktczrlKHK8N4SZzs/edit# 2. https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/HBASE/versions/12327188 3. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18611?jql=project%20%3D%20HBASE%20%20and%20(fixVersion%20%3D%202.0.0%20%7C%7C%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.0.0.alpha1%20%7C%7C%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.0.0-alpha-2)%20and%20fixVersion%20not%20in%20(1.0.0%2C%201.0.1%2C%201.0.2%2C%201.0.3%2C%201.0.4%2C%201.0.5%2C%201.0.6%2C%201.1.0%2C%201.1.1%2C%201.1.2%2C%201.1.3%2C%201.1.4%2C%201.1.5%2C%201.1.6%2C%201.1.7%2C%201.1.8%2C%201.1.9%2C%201.1.10%2C%201.2.0%2C%201.2.1%2C%201.2.2%2C%201.2.3%2C%201.2.4%2C%201.2.5%2C%201.2.6%2C%201.3.0%2C%201.3.1%2C%201.4.0)%20and%20%20(status%20%3D%20Open%20or%20status%20%3D%20%22Patch%20Available%22) 4. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18599?jql=project%20%3D%20HBASE%20%20and%20(%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.0.0%20%7C%7C%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.0.0-alpha-1%20%7C%7C%20fixVersion%20%3D%202.0.0-alpha-2)%20and%20(status%20%3D%20Resolved)
