[Sean Busbey <bu...@apache.org>]

The HBase team is happy to announce the immediate availability of Apache
HBase 1.4.11.

Download from http://hbase.apache.org/downloads

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 1.4.11 is a maintenance release in HBase's current stable release
line, continuing on the theme of bringing a stable, reliable database to the
Hadoop and NoSQL communities.

All users of previous releases are encouraged to upgrade to this release.

Critical changes include:

* HBASE-22784 Clusters in a cyclical replication topology that only have
              incoming writes from replication never clean out WALs.
* HBASE-23101 replication of bulkloaded files must handle cyclical
              topologies. Includes binary incompatible change to Region
              interface.
* HBASE-23015 Stop including Jackson libraries in classpaths except when
              needed by the HBase REST Proxy or by Apache Hadoop.
* HBASE-22728, HBASE-23174 update HBase REST Proxy to use Jackson 2 for
              serialization (CVEs).
* HBASE-22627 Recovered WAL directories not getting cleaned up when
              running different WAL and base filesystems.
* HBASE-15666 New utility artifact for testing shaded client:
              hbase-shaded-testing-util.
* HBASE-22874 Define a public interface for Canary and move existing
              implementation to LimitedPrivate
