The first HBase 1.5.0 release candidate (RC0) is available for download at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/hbase/hbase-1.5.0RC0/ and Maven artifacts are available in the temporary repository https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachehbase-1250/
The git tag corresponding to the candidate is '1.5.0RC0' (ce6a6014da). 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-1.5.0RC0/compat-check-report.html . I do not believe there are any reported compatibility issues that are in violation of our compatibility policy for minor releases, but if you find something and feel differently, please file a JIRA. A list of the 88 issues resolved in this release can be found at https://s.apache.org/K4Wk . The 1.5.0 changelog is derived from the changelog of the last branch-1.4 release, 1.4.9. Please try out the candidate and vote +1/0/-1. The vote will be open for at least 72 hours. Unless objection I will try to close it Thursday February 28, 2019 if we have sufficient votes. Prior to making this announcement I made the following preflight checks: RAT check passes (7u80) Unit test suite passes (7u80, 8u181) Opened the UI in a browser, poked around LTT load 100M rows with 100% verification and 20% updates (8u181) ITBLL 1B rows with slowDeterministic monkey (8u181) ITBLL 1B rows with serverKilling monkey (8u181) Some of this testing was done with recent 1.5.0-SNAPSHOT versions. During the month of February I plan to perform a number of additional tests, including performance regression checks. As more results become available I will post them to this thread. -- Best regards, Andrew
