+title: Apache Kudu 1.4.0 released
+author: Todd Lipcon
+---
+
+The Apache Kudu team is happy to announce the release of Kudu 1.4.0!
+
+Apache Kudu 1.4.0 is a minor release which offers several new features,
+improvements, optimizations, and bug fixes.
+
+Highlights include:
+
+<!--more-->
+
+- ability to alter storage attributes and default values for existing columns
+- a new C++ client API to efficiently map primary keys to their associated partitions
+  and hosts
+- support for long-running fault-tolerant scans in the Java client
+- a new `kudu fs check` command which can perform offline consistency checks
+  and repairs on the local on-disk storage of a Tablet Server or Master.
+- many optimizations to reduce disk space usage, improve write throughput,
+  and improve throughput of background maintenance operations.
+
+The above list of changes is non-exhaustive. Please refer to the
+[release notes](/releases/1.4.0/docs/release_notes.html)
+for an expanded list of important improvements, bug fixes, and
+incompatible changes before upgrading.
+
+* Download the [Kudu 1.4.0 source release](/releases/1.4.0/)
+* Convenience binary artifacts for the Java client and various Java
+integrations (eg Spark, Flume) are also now available via the ASF Maven
+repository.
