[RELEASE] 0.7.0 beta1

[Eric Evans <ee...@rackspace.com>]

Happy Friday the 13th.  Are you feeling lucky?  I know I am.

Ok, first off, a disclaimer.

As the suffix on the version indicates this is *beta* software.  If you
run off and upgrade a production server with this there is a very good
chance that you are going to be sad/fired/mocked/ridiculed/laughed
at/sorry.

FUD aside, any help testing 0.7.0-beta1 would be very appreciated.  The
list of changes is enormous[1] and we want to make sure we shake as many
bugs out before the final as possible.

If you're coming from 0.6, there are some things to keep in mind, and
they're documented in the release notes[2], so be sure to read them.

If you find bugs, please file a report[3], and if you have questions,
don't hesitate to ask them.

Have fun!

It seems that the SNAPSHOT version of cassandra-0.7.0-beta1 inside the latest
hector release is different to the cassandra-0.7.0-beta1 binaries
released by Cassandra.
I have replaced the cassandra jar with the SNAPSHOT version in both
client and server and it's
all working again.

Originally I used the binary jar that was released by Cassandra, but
even if you use this
on server and client with Hector it doesn't work. Not sure if this is
a problem with Hector
or Cassandra...

Happy to announce hector's support in 0.7.0. Hector is a java client for
cassandra which wraps the low level thrift interface with a nicer API, adds
monitoring, connection pooling and more.
I didn't do anything... The amazing 0.7.0 work was done by Ed (thanks Ed)

This version includes support in a 0.7.0 cluster with feature parity to
0.6.0 (all API calls that used to work in 0.6.* now work with 0.7.0-beta1).
Complete support for all 0.7.0 new features is in the works and will be
available soon (the system_ calls).
A good place to start with some examples is here
http://github.com/rantav/hector/blob/0.7.0/src/test/java/me/prettyprint/cassandra/model/ApiV2SystemTest.javaand
here
http://github.com/rantav/hector/blob/0.7.0/src/main/java/me/prettyprint/cassandra/examples/ExampleDaoV2.java

The code is here http://github.com/rantav/hector/tree/0.7.0, a zip file with
all dependencies is on the downloads page (
http://github.com/rantav/hector/downloads) and here's a direct link
http://github.com/downloads/rantav/hector/hector-0.7.0-16.zip

Enjoy
