[ANNOUNCE] Apache HBase 2.5.2 is now available for download

[Duo Zhang <zh...@apache.org>]

The HBase team is happy to announce the immediate availability of HBase
2.5.2.

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 2.5.2 is the latest patch release in the HBase 2.5.x line. The
full list of issues can be found in the included CHANGES and RELEASENOTES,
or via our issue tracker:

To download please follow the links and instructions on our website:

Notice that, starting from 2.5.2, we will publish dists and maven artifacts
which are built against hadoop3. You can download the hadoop3 dists from the
download page which has 'hadoop3-' prefix. And for maven artifacts, please
use 2.5.2-hadoop3 as the version of the hbase dependencies in your pom.

Thanks to all who contributed and made this release possible.

Cheers,
The HBase Dev Team
