This is the 5th release candidate for Apache Pulsar, version 2.1.0-incubating.
It introduces following main features: - Pulsar I/O: a serverless connector framework built on top of Pulsar Functions. - TieredStorage: offloads bookkeeper ledgers to a cold storage (like S3). - Stateful Function: Pulsar Functions supports storing state back to bookkeeper. - Go Client: a Go client wrapping over existing cpp client. - Avro and Protobuf schema are supported.

A few notes for reviewing/voting 2.1.0 release: - Starting from this release, we are shipping RPM & DEB packages for pulsar non-java clients. - Starting from this release, we are shipping a binary distribution called `apache-pulsar-io-connectors` including all built-in connectors. Each connector is packaged with all their dependencies and a META-INF/DEPEDENCIES file with licensing information for all dependencies. - Since there are a lot of features introduced in 2.1, I put up an instruction for people to validate release candidate on different features: https://github.com/apache/incubator-pulsar/wiki/Release-Candidate-Validation
