[ANNOUNCE] Apache HBase 2.1.3 is now available for download


The HBase team is happy to announce the immediate availability of Apache
HBase 2.1.3.

Download from https://hbase.apache.org/downloads.html

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 2.1.3 is the latest release of the HBase 2.1 line, continuing on the
theme of bringing a stable, reliable database to the Apache Big Data
ecosystem and beyond. It fixes CVE-2018-1320 by upgrading thrift dependency
from 0.9.3 to 0.12.0, all hbase users who use thrift are highly recommended
to upgrade. 2.1.3 includes ~60 bug and improvement fixes done since the
2.1.2 released ~ one month ago. There is an incompatible change,
HBASE-21684, where we change the superclass of StoppedRpcClientException
from HBaseIOException to DoNotRetryIOException, should be low risk, and
feel free to contact us if this breaks anything for you.
