Hi, The Apache Kudu team is happy to announce the first release candidate for Apache Kudu 1.4.0.
Apache Kudu 1.4.0 is a minor release which offers many improvements and fixes since the prior release. This first release candidate does not contain full release notes -- I am hoping that we can start voting while preparing release notes, and then have an abbreviated RC2 vote if the only changes between RC1 and RC2 are the incorporation of docs. The is a source-only release. The artifacts were staged here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/kudu/1.4.0-RC1/ Java convenience binaries in the form of a Maven repository are staged here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachekudu-1010/ It was built from this tag: https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=kudu.git;a=commit;h=afcd412baedcd153d152bd43128ca82886630200 As noted above, the release notes are work-in-progress. 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 Wednesday, June 7th at 11PM PDT. As noted above, we'll need to do an RC2 to incorporate release notes, so please focus your voting and testing on the non-doc contents here. Thanks, Todd
