Hello Kudu devs! As suggested on the RC1 voting thread, I've included the fix for KUDU-2710 and some other bug fixes that landed on master since RC1, and created a new release candidate for Apache Kudu 1.9.0.
Apache Kudu 1.9.0 is a minor release that offers many improvements and fixes since the prior release. This is a source-only release. The artifacts have been staged here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/kudu/1.9.0-RC2/ Java convenience binaries in the form of a Maven repository are staged here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachekudu-1029/ It is tagged in Git as 1.9.0-RC2 and the corresponding hash is the following: https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=kudu.git;a=commit;h=deb0f04b010c5399771879829285c284b8f20008 A draft of the release notes can be found here: https://gerrit.cloudera.org/c/12389/ The KEYS file to verify the artifact signatures can be found here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/kudu/KEYS I'd suggest going through the README and the release notes, building Kudu, and running the unit tests. Testing out the Maven repo would also be appreciated. The vote will run until this coming Friday, March 1st at 11:59AM PST. Thank you, Andrew
