We've just made a new release of the Apache HBase Thirdparty project. This project is used by the Apache HBase project to encapsulate a number of core dependencies that HBase relies upon ensuring that they are properly isolated from HBase downstream users, e.g. Google Protocol Buffers, Google Guava, and a few others.
4.1.8 is a regular release with some dependencies update. The release is available as source at https://downloads.apache.org/[1] and as artifacts up in Maven central[2]. Release notes and Changes can be found at [1]. The release was tagged rel/4.1.8 <https://github.com/apache/hbase-thirdparty/releases/tag/rel%2F4.1.8>. All artifacts are signed with my key 43C6D4E700D7B9C5FC7A80EF7023A52545B7C28B which can be found here: https://downloads.apache.org/hbase/KEYS - Your Release Manager [1] https://downloads.apache.org/hbase/hbase-thirdparty-4.1.8 [2] https://repository.apache.org/service/local/repositories/releases/content/org/apache/hbase/thirdparty/hbase-thirdparty/4.1.8
