The HBase team is happy to announce the immediate availability of Apache HBase 2.0.0-beta-2!
Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational database. Apache HBase gives you low latency random access to billions of rows with millions of columns atop non-specialized hardware. To learn more about HBase, see https://hbase.apache.org/. Download through an ASF mirror: https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/hbase/ (It may take a while to show up on a particular mirror site) hbase-2.0.0-beta-2 is our second beta release. It includes all that was in previous alphas and the previous beta (new assignment manager, offheap read/write path, in-memory compactions, etc.). hbase-2.0.0-beta-2 is a not-for-production preview of hbase-2.0.0. It is meant for devs and downstreamers to test drive and flag us if we messed up on anything ahead of our rolling 2.0.0 release candidates ("GAs"). The list of features addressed in 2.0.0 so far can be found here [3]. There are thousands. The list of ~2k+ fixes in 2.0.0 exclusively can be found here [4]. I've updated our overview doc. on the state of 2.0.0 [6]. Next up are actual 2.0.0 release candidates. Look for them in a week or so after we do up a bit more doc and test. Here is the list of what is outstanding against 2.0.0 [5]. Only blockers will hold up release. One known issue is that the User API has not been properly filtered so it shows more than just InterfaceAudience Public content (HBASE-19663, to be fixed).

Thanks to all the contributors who made this release possible!
