HBase 0.90.0 Released: Over 1000 Fixes and Improvements

Major update. Congrats to all the HBase contributors and testers. I would really dig into the notes before upgrading. Also, if you are considering a fresh install I would really look into compatibility with your hadoop environment.

There's an update on that from one commenter. He mentions that Hadoop 0.21 is not meant for production systems.

Impressive release. And the first one as top Apache project. On the downside, unfortunately it's not compatible with the latest Hadoop, but there's a solution (not an app :) for that.

Impressive indeed. It works out in a way if you'd like to to upgrade to the latest version of HBase without involving a data migration. Am switching to the new version right away.

HBase is, from my experience, a solid, performant software. Congrats for the release, way to 1.0.0!
