[RELEASE CANDIDATE] Apache Cassandra 2.1.0-rc7 released

[Sylvain Lebresne <sy...@datastax.com>]

The Cassandra team is pleased to announce the sixth release candidate for
the
future Apache Cassandra version 2.1.0.

Please note that this is not yet the final 2.1.0 release and as such, it
should
not be considered for production use. We'd appreciate testing and let us
know
if you encounter any problem[3,4]. Please make sure to have a look at the
change log[1] and release notes[2].

Apache Cassandra 2.1.0-rc7[5] is available as usual from the cassandra
website (http://cassandra.apache.org/download/) and a debian package is
available using the 21x branch (see
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/DebianPackaging).

Enjoy!
