[ANNOUNCE] Apache Accumulo 4.0.0-alpha-1

[Dave Marion <dl...@apache.org>]

The Apache Accumulo project is pleased to announce the release of
version 4.0.0-alpha-1.

Apache Accumulo 4.0.0-alpha-1 is the first alpha release of the planned
4.0 non-LTM release line. This release is not ready for production use
and existing Apache Accumulo instances should not be upgraded to this
release.

Apache Accumulo 4.0 intends to provide the same features and guarantees
as prior versions but provide the user with flexible deployment options for
resource optimization.

See the release notes linked below for details.
