Here's my review of this RC: - verified tarballs vs public key in p.a.o/keys/committers/ndimiduk.asc. - extracted both tgz, structure looks good. - examined book, pdf. - ran Stack's hbase-downstreamer vs. the maven repo. tests pass. - verified build of src tgz against hadoop versions (2.2.0/minikdc=2.3.0, 2.3.0, 2.4.0, 2.4.1, 2.5.0, 2.5.1, 2.5.2, 2.6.0, 2.7.0), with both openjdk-1.7.0_79.jdk and openjdk-1.8.0_45.jdk. - on 5-node cluster, verified rolling upgrade from hadoop-2.4.0/hbase-0.98.0 while concurrently running LoadTestTool with LZ4 compression (0.98.0 client). No issues, logs look good. - poked around with the shell on the same: list, status, snapshot, compact, drop, clone, delete_snapshot, drop. no issues, logs look good. - inspected compatibility report vs. 1.1.0 [0]. Looks good to me; a single low-severity issue which I understand to be benign.
