All known significant issues are resolved. Flaky tests have been found using repeated suite invocation on x86_64 and aarch64 test hosts. Use this link to find the open issues: https://s.apache.org/hbase-2.5.0-issues
Load testing with LTT, ITBLL, and ITLCC has completed successfully. Chaos testing with ITBLL will be underway soon. The RC0 will be posted tomorrow. There will be a compatibility report associated with it that may generate some discussion. I am not expecting the RC0 to pass but we need it in order for people to begin evaluation of it and related concerns. Of the remaining open issues: - HBASE-26192 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26192> [minor] is implemented but I am still working on a mock based unit test for it, which is half done, so you can assume this one is done. There is a PR awaiting review for the servlet itself. Implementation is simple. - HBASE-26844 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-26844> [minor] is something I hope one of my colleagues will address soon but is not urgent and can be deferred to 2.5.1, as it is only a test flake. - HBASE-27022 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27022> [minor] is an issue with SFT but SFT will be marked experimental so this has been deferred. - HBASE-27064 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27064> [minor] is fixed and awaiting PR review. - HBASE-27067 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27067> [minor] is fixed and awaiting PR review. - HBASE-27070 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27070> [minor] is an issue with the Region Visualizer in what can be expected to be a common test configuration. This one should be addressed before release. - All other issues are minor priority filings for unit tests that are sometimes flaky. In some cases the flakiness manifests only on aarch64, which is a platform as yet of secondary concern. -- Best regards, Andrew
