The second HBase 1.4.2 release candidate (RC1) is available for download at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-1.4.2RC1/ and Maven artifacts are available in the temporary repository https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1196/ .
The git tag corresponding to the candidate is '1.4.2RC1' (b4ec89059c). Note this is different from branch-1.4 by one commit because we had an intervening commit between tag and push (08b9939974, HBASE-20016) while I was running tests. The only difference is the CHANGES.txt update for 1.4.2RC1 is placed ahead of the commit for HBASE-20016, but does not mention it, which is fine, because 1.4.2RC1 does not contain HBASE-20016. A detailed source and binary compatibility report for this release is available for your review at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-1.4.2RC1/compat-check-report.html . A list of the 22 issues resolved in this release can be found at https://s.apache.org/aGcb . 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 Thursday February 28, 2018 if we have sufficient votes. Prior to making this announcement I made the following preflight checks: - RAT check passes (7u80) - Unit test suite passes (8u131) - LTT load 1M rows with 100% verification and 20% updates (8u131) - PE sequentialWrite, sequentialRead, randomWrite, randomRead, scanRange100 (8u131) - ITBLL Loop 1 100M rows (8u131) -- Best regards, Andrew
