Sounds good, Grant! Looking briefly over the git log, here are a few things
that stood out to me as release-note-worthy:
KUDU-2202: support for removing data directories (take two)
KUDU-1097: turn on 3-4-3 replica management scheme
KUDU-1489: allow configuration of metadata dir
KUDU-2231: sparse column predicate can cause excessive data-block
reads
Improve scans dashboard
KUDU-2253 Deltafile on-disk size is 3x larger than expected
KUDU-721: Support for Decimal type, Part 1 (Server, C++ Client)
KUDU-2279 (metrics logging by default)
KUDU-2238. DMS not flush under memory pressure.
Probably there are some others, and things yet-to-land in the next week or
two (I at least have one big patch series outstanding), but figured I'd
point out some things to get us started
