+#DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT
+
+Apache Accumulo 1.6.3 is a maintenance release on the 1.6 version branch.
+This release contains changes from over 63 issues, comprised of bug-fixes,
+performance improvements and better test cases.
+
+Users of 1.6.0, 1.6.1, and 1.6.2 are strongly encouraged to update as soon as
+possible to benefit from the improvements with very little concern in change
+of underlying functionality. Users of 1.4 or 1.5 that are seeking to upgrade
+to 1.6 should consider 1.6.3 as a starting point. For information about
+improvements since Accumulo 1.5, see the [1.6.0][3], [1.6.1][4], and
+[1.6.2][5] release notes.
+
+## Fixed BatchWriter hold time error
+
+In previous releases a `BatchWriter` could fail with a
+`MutationsRejectedException` with server errors. If inspection of the tserver
+logs showed `HoldTimeoutException` was the cause, the workaround was to
+increase the value of `general.rpc.timeout`. Changing this setting is no
+longer necessary as this bug was fixed by [ACCUMULO-2388][ACCUMULO-2388].
+
+## Severe bug fixes.
+
+ * [ACCUMULO-3597][ACCUMULO-3597] Fixed deadlock where a tablet flush and
+ metadata tablet load were waiting on each other. This was a rare bug. If it
+ occurred it could impact the availability of Accumulo as most Accumulo
+ operations depend on metadata tablets.
+ * [ACCUMULO-3709][ACCUMULO-3709] Fixed potential data loss bug where
+ AccumuloOutputFormat close did not rethrow exception.
+ * [ACCUMULO-3745][ACCUMULO-3745] Fixed deadlock in SourceSwitchingIterator
+ that occured when using custom iterators that called deep copy. This bug
+ would cause scans to hang indefinitely until the tserver was killed.
+
+## Notable bug fixes
+
+ * [ACCUMULO-3589][ACCUMULO-3589] du in shell does not check table existence
+ * [ACCUMULO-3692][ACCUMULO-3692] Offline table disables balancing
+ * [ACCUMULO-3718][ACCUMULO-3718] Fixed bug that prevented a Mutation from
+ being created in Scala.
+ * [ACCUMULO-3750][ACCUMULO-3750] Fixed issue where master would perpetually
+ fail when there was a bad instance.secret setting.
+ * [ACCUMULO-3784][ACCUMULO-3784] Fixed bug in getauths shell command where it
+ treated visibilities that differed only in case as the same.
+ * [ACCUMULO-3796][ACCUMULO-3796] Added documentation about turning off zone
+ reclaim.
+ * [ACCUMULO-3859][ACCUMULO-3859] Fixed race condition that prevented table
+ constraint from loading on all servers (is this description good?)
+ * [ACCUMULO-3880][ACCUMULO-3880] Malformed Configuration Causes tservers To Shutdown
+ * [ACCUMULO-3890][ACCUMULO-3890] Fixed performance issue with
+ CredentialProvider. This could degrade performance when ...
+
+## Known Issues
+
+During testing [HDFS-8406][1] was encountered. To work around this issue do
+the following :
+
+ 1. Locate block for walog whose lease can not be recovered.
+ 2. Copy block into HDFS as temp file TMP_WALOG
+ 3. Delete the walog whose lease can not be recovered.
+ 4. Move TMP_WALOG to the filename of the walog deleted in the previous step.
+
+## Testing
+
+Each unit and functional test only runs on a single node, while the RandomWalk
+and Continuous Ingest tests run on any number of nodes. *Agitation* refers to
+randomly restarting Accumulo processes and Hadoop Datanode processes, and, in
+HDFS High-Availability instances, forcing NameNode failover.
