Hi, The Apache Kudu team is happy to announce the first release candidate for Apache Kudu 1.2.0.
Apache Kudu 1.2 is a minor release which adds various new features, improvements, bug fixes, and optimizations on top of Kudu 1.1. Please see the release notes for details. Thanks to the 18 developers who contributed code or documentation to this release! The is a source-only release. The artifacts were staged here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/kudu/1.2.0-RC1/ Java convenience binaries in the form of a Maven repository are staged here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachekudu-1006/ It was built from this tag: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=kudu.git;a=commit;h=c3276651dcb4a4995957fe99cd75b0e174dd7e90 The release notes can be found here (some links from this document will only work when this version is released): https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/branch-1.2 <https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/branch-1.2.x/docs/release_notes.adoc> .x/docs/release_notes.adoc <https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/branch-1.1.x/docs/release_notes.adoc> KEYS file: http://www.apache.org/dist/kudu/KEYS I'd suggest going through the README, building Kudu, and running the unit tests. Testing out the Maven repo would also be appreciated. Given the upcoming holiday weekend in the US, I think we should extend the voting period beyond the minimum-required 72 hours. This vote will close 11:59pm PST on next Tuesday, Jan 17. Thanks, Todd
