Hi, The Apache Kudu team is happy to announce the first release candidate for Apache Kudu 1.3.0.
Apache Kudu 1.3 is a minor release which adds various new features, improvements, bug fixes, and optimizations on top of Kudu 1.2. Highlights include significantly improved support for security, garbage collection of historical data, and lower space consumption in default configurations. Please see the release notes for details. Thanks to the 25 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/1.3.0-RC1/ Java convenience binaries in the form of a Maven repository are staged here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachekudu-1008/ It was built from this tag: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=kudu.git;a=commit;h=dfd9b491f635a89b75889f8277316c9b78143883 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-1.3.x/docs/release_notes.adoc <https://github.com/apache/kudu/blob/branch-1.3.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. The vote will run until Monday, 3/12 at 11PM PST. This is a bit more than the minimum 72 hours, but given the weekend, I figured it's worth giving two full business days for people to vote. Thanks, Todd
