The HBase Team would like to announce the availability of the third in our 'developer release' series, hbase-0.89.20100924. Binary and source tar balls are available here:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/hbase/ You can browse the documentation here: http://hbase.apache.org/docs/r0.89.20100924/ This release contains a rollback of some features that were added to the master in 0726 that made it more unstable, but also contains about 40 fixes for bugs (including more reliable region server failovers) and performance improvements. Our 'developer releases' are for those who can tolerate risk and who are willing to give feedback in advance of our next major release. We're not making any guarantees that this is bug free. Its definitely not for production deploys. See http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/HBaseVersions for more on the new hbase versoning and our developer releases series. Also, please have a look at the KNOWN_ISSUES.txt file next to the tar balls for critical issues you need to be aware of. Thanks to all who contributed to this release. Yours, The HBase Team
