[ANNOUNCE] Apache HBase 1.2.2 is now available for download

[Sean Busbey <bu...@apache.org>]

The HBase team is happy to announce the immediate availability of HBase 1.2.2.

Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational database.
Apache HBase gives you low latency random access to billions of rows with
millions of columns atop non-specialized hardware. To learn more about HBase,
see https://hbase.apache.org/.

HBase 1.2.2 is the second maintenance release in the HBase 1.2.z line,
continuing on the theme of bringing a stable, reliable database to the
Hadoop and NoSQL communities. This release includes 74 resolved issues
since the 1.2.1 release.

With this release, the HBase community has designated the 1.2 line as the
current stable release line. All HBase 1.1 users are strongly encouraged to
upgrade.

Notable fixes include:

* [HBASE-15811] - Batch Get after batch Put does not fetch all Cells
* [HBASE-15698] - Increment TimeRange not serialized to server
* [HBASE-15234] - ReplicationLogCleaner can abort due to transient ZK issues
* [HBASE-15645] - hbase.rpc.timeout is not used in operations of HTable
* [HBASE-15622] - Superusers does not consider the keytab credentials
* [HBASE-15856] - Cached Connection instances can wind up with
addresses never resolved
