Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache HBase 2.0.0 is now available for download

[stack <st...@apache.org>]

The moderator for the Apache Announce mailing list (and our Sean) noticed
that the links to the .asc and .sha512 files in my original posting were
incorrect. These files do not make it out to Apache mirrors. They remain at
home on www.apache.org/dist.

I corrected the pointers and re-submitted the amended announce to
announce@apache.org. It appears here:
https://s.apache.org/hbase-2.0.0-ANNOUNCE. Please use this ANNOUNCE in
place of my original going forward.

Thanks,
Your 2.0.0 RM.
