-<p>Kudu 0.10.0 delivers a number of new features, bug fixes, and optimizations,
-detailed below.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Kudu 0.10.0 maintains wire-compatibility with previous releases, meaning
-that applications using the Kudu client libraries may be upgraded either
-before, at the same time, or after the Kudu servers. However, if you begin
-using new features of Kudu 0.10.0 such as manually range-partitioned tables,
-you must first upgrade all clients to this release.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>This release does not maintain full Java API or ABI compatibility with
-Kudu 0.9.x due to a package rename and some other small changes. See below for details.</p>

-<h3 id="rn_0.10.0_incompatible_changes"><a class="link" href="#rn_0.10.0_incompatible_changes">Incompatible changes and deprecated APIs in 0.10.0</a></h3>
-<div class="ulist">
-<ul>
-<li>
-<p><a href="http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/3737">Gerrit #3737</a> The Java client has been repackaged
-under <code>org.apache.kudu</code> instead of <code>org.kududb</code>. Import statements for Kudu classes must
-be modified in order to compile against 0.10.0. Wire compatibility is maintained.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p><a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3055/">Gerrit #3055</a> The Java client&#8217;s
-synchronous API methods now throw <code>KuduException</code> instead of <code>Exception</code>.
-Existing code that catches <code>Exception</code> should still compile, but introspection of an
-exception&#8217;s message may be impacted. This change was made to allow thrown exceptions to be
-queried more easily using <code>KuduException.getStatus</code> and calling one of <code>Status&#8217;s methods.
-For example, an operation that tries to delete a table that doesn&#8217;t exist would return a
-`Status</code> that returns true when queried on <code>isNotFound()</code>.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p>The Java client&#8217;s <code>KuduTable.getTabletsLocations</code> set of methods is now
-deprecated. Additionally, they now take an exclusive end partition key instead
-of an inclusive key. Applications are encouraged to use the scan tokens API
-instead of these methods in the future.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p>The C++ API for specifying split points on range-partitioned tables has been improved
-to make it easier for callers to properly manage the ownership of the provided rows.</p>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>The <code>TableCreator::split_rows</code> API took a <code>vector&lt;const KuduPartialRow*&gt;</code>, which
-  made it very difficult for the calling application to do proper error handling with
-  cleanup when setting the fields of the <code>KuduPartialRow</code>. This API has been now been
-  deprecated and replaced by a new method <code>TableCreator::add_range_split</code> which allows
-  easier use of smart pointers for safe memory management.</p>
-</div>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p>The Java client&#8217;s internal buffering has been reworked. Previously, the number of
-buffered write operations was constrained on a per-tablet-server basis. Now, the configured
-maximum buffer size constrains the total number of buffered operations across all
-tablet servers in the cluster. This provides a more consistent bound on the memory
-usage of the client regardless of the size of the cluster to which it is writing.</p>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>This change can negatively affect the write performance of Java clients which rely on
-  buffered writes. Consider using the <code>setMutationBufferSpace</code> API to increase a
-  session&#8217;s maximum buffer size if write performance seems to be degraded after upgrading
-  to Kudu 0.10.0.</p>
-</div>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p>The "remote bootstrap" process used to copy a tablet replica from one host to
-another has been renamed to "Tablet Copy". This resulted in the renaming of
-several RPC metrics. Any users previously explicitly fetching or monitoring metrics
-related to Remote Bootstrap should update their scripts to reflect the new names.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p>The SparkSQL datasource for Kudu no longer supports mode <code>Overwrite</code>. Users should
-use the new <code>KuduContext.upsertRows</code> method instead. Additionally, inserts using the
-datasource are now upserts by default. The older behavior can be restored by setting
-the <code>operation</code> parameter to <code>insert</code>.</p>
-</li>
-</ul>

-<h3 id="rn_0.10.0_new_features"><a class="link" href="#rn_0.10.0_new_features">New features</a></h3>
-<div class="ulist">
-<ul>
-<li>
-<p>Users may now manually manage the partitioning of a range-partitioned table.
-When a table is created, the user may specify a set of range partitions that
-do not cover the entire available key space. A user may add or drop range
-partitions to existing tables.</p>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>This feature can be particularly helpful with time series workloads in which
-  new partitions can be created on an hourly or daily basis. Old partitions
-  may be efficiently dropped if the application does not need to retain historical
-  data past a certain point.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>This feature is considered experimental for the 0.10 release. More details of
-  the new feature can be found in the accompanying
-  <a href="https://kudu.apache.org/2016/08/23/new-range-partitioning-features.html">blog post</a>.</p>
-</div>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p>Support for running Kudu clusters with multiple masters has been stabilized.
-Users may start a cluster with three or five masters to provide fault tolerance
-despite a failure of one or two masters, respectively.</p>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Note that certain tools (e.g. <code>ksck</code>) are still lacking complete support for
-  multiple masters. These deficiencies will be addressed in a following release.</p>
-</div>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p>Kudu now supports the ability to reserve a certain amount of free disk space
-in each of its configured data directories. If a directory&#8217;s free disk space
-drops to less than the configured minimum, Kudu will stop writing to that
-directory until space becomes available. If no space is available in any
-configured directory, Kudu will abort.</p>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>This feature may be configured using the <code>fs_data_dirs_reserved_bytes</code> and
-  <code>fs_wal_dir_reserved_bytes</code> flags.</p>
-</div>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p>The Spark integration&#8217;s <code>KuduContext</code> now supports four new methods for writing to
-Kudu tables: <code>insertRows</code>, <code>upsertRows</code>, <code>updateRows</code>, and <code>deleteRows</code>. These are
-now the preferred way to write to Kudu tables from Spark.</p>
-</li>
-</ul>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="sect2">
-<h3 id="rn_0.10.0_improvements"><a class="link" href="#rn_0.10.0_improvements">Improvements and optimizations</a></h3>
-<div class="ulist">
-<ul>
-<li>
-<p><a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1516">KUDU-1516</a> The <code>kudu-ksck</code> tool
-has been improved and now detects problems such as when a tablet does not have
-a majority of replicas on live tablet servers, or if those replicas aren\u2019t in a
-good state. Users who currently depend on the tool to detect inconsistencies may now see
-failures when before they wouldn&#8217;t see any.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p><a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/3477">Gerrit #3477</a> The way operations are buffered in
-the Java client has been reworked. Previously, the session&#8217;s buffer size was set per tablet, meaning that a buffer
-size of 1,000 for 10 tablets being written to allowed for 10,000 operations to be buffered at the
-same time. With this change, all the tablets share one buffer, so users might need to set a
-bigger buffer size in order to reach the same level of performance as before.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p><a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3674/">Gerrit #3674</a> Added LESS and GREATER options for
-column predicates.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p><a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1444">KUDU-1444</a> added support for passing
-back basic per-scan metrics (e.g cache hit rate) from the server to the C++ client. See the
-<code>KuduScanner::GetResourceMetrics()</code> API for detailed usage. This feature will be supported
-in the Java client API in a future release.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p><a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1446">KUDU-1446</a> improved the order in
-which the tablet server evaluates predicates, so that predicates on smaller columns
-are evaluated first. This may improve performance on queries which apply predicates
-on multiple columns of different sizes.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p><a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1398">KUDU-1398</a> improved the storage
-efficiency of Kudu&#8217;s internal primary key indexes. This optimization should decrease space
-usage and improve random access performance, particularly for workloads with lengthy
-primary keys.</p>
-</li>
-</ul>

-<div class="ulist">
-<ul>
-<li>
-<p><a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3541/">Gerrit #3541</a> Fixed a problem in the Java client
-whereby an RPC could be dropped when a connection to a tablet server or master was forcefully
-closed on the server-side while RPCs to that server were in the process of being encoded.
-The effect was that the RPC would not be sent, and users of the synchronous API would receive
-a <code>TimeoutException</code>. Several other Java client bugs which could cause similar spurious timeouts
-were also fixed in this release.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p><a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/<mark>/c/3724/">Gerrit #3724</a> Fixed a problem in the Java client
-whereby an RPC could be dropped when a socket timeout was fired while that RPC was being sent to
-a tablet server or master. This would manifest itself in the same way
-<a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/</mark>/c/3541/">Gerrit #3541</a>.</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p><a href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-1538">KUDU-1538</a> fixed a bug in which recycled
-block identifiers could cause the tablet server to lose data. Following this bug fix, block
-identifiers will no longer be reused.</p>

-<li>
-<p>This is the first release of Apache Kudu as a top-level (non-incubating)
-project!</p>
-</li>
-<li>
-<p>The default false positive rate for Bloom filters has been changed
-from 1% to 0.01%. This will increase the space consumption of Bloom
-filters by a factor of two (from approximately 10 bits per row to
-approximately 20 bits per row). This is expected to substantially
-improve the performance of random-write workloads at the cost of an
-incremental increase in disk space usage.</p>

-<p>Kudu now
-<a href="http://kudu.apache.org/2016/06/17/raft-consensus-single-node.html">

+<p>Removal of multiversion concurrency control (MVCC) history is now supported.
+This is known as tablet history GC. This allows Kudu to reclaim disk space,
+where previously Kudu would keep a full history of all changes made to a
+given table since the beginning of time. Previously, the only way to reclaim
+disk space was to drop a table.</p>
 <div class="paragraph">
-<p>Kudu 0.9.0 delivers incremental features, improvements, and bug fixes over the previous versions.</p>

+  which defaults to 15 minutes (expressed in seconds). The timestamp
+  represented by the current time minus <code>tablet_history_max_age_sec</code> is known
+  as the ancient history mark (AHM). When a compaction or flush occurs, Kudu
+  will remove the history of changes made prior to the ancient history mark.
+  This only affects historical data; currently-visible data will not be
