Can MapR release a beta build or a dev build with the latest features included? My issue is when I attempted to build from source with the MapR Profile, I am not able to utilize MapR tables. (Not sure what I am doing wrong) and I would rather not "choose" between MapR Tables and the new JDBC features in my testing. On one hand we could troubleshoot my building skills (which I am sorely lacking) or if MapR has a process to take the current code and package it up in a .deb and .rpm with a "use at own risk" that would be very handy for us who want to play with the new capabilities.
