The Cassandra team is pleased to announce the release of the 2nd beta for the future Apache Cassandra 2.1.0.
Let first stress that this is beta software and as such is *not* ready for production use. The goal of this release is to give a preview of what will become Cassandra 2.1 and to get wider testing in preparation for the final release. This beta is known to contain bugs but all help in testing this beta would be greatly appreciated and will help make 2.1 a solid release. Please report any problem you may encounter[3,4] with this release and have a look at the change log[1] and release notes[2] to see where Cassandra 2.1 differs from the previous series. Apache Cassandra 2.1.0-beta2[5] is available as usual from the cassandra website (http://cassandra.apache.org/download/) and a debian package is available using the 21x branch (see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/DebianPackaging). Thank you for your help in testing and have fun with it.
