Trafodion master branch rebasing to HBase 1.0 shortly

[Dave Birdsall <da...@esgyn.com>]

Hi Trafodion developers,



Just want to give you a heads-up on a change that will be merged into the
Trafodion master branch shortly. The change is
https://github.com/apache/incubator-trafodion/pull/367.



This pull request upgrades Trafodion to run on HBase 1.0. It also adds
support for vanilla Apache distributions. CDH 5.4.4 and HDP 2.3 are also
supported.



Unfortunately, this change is not upward-compatible. Support for HBase 0.98
(and associated distributions) ceases with this pull request. If you need
to continue using an HBase 0.98 base, the 1.3 branch (and 1.3.0 release)
continue to be available.



If you are working on a workstation and have done an
“install_local_hadoop”, you need to uninstall before upgrading to this
version, and re-install afterward.



There is some work going on at the moment to fix some regression test
failures; when that is done, this pull request will be merged. Perhaps
Thursday (North American time).



Thanks,



Dave

Hi,

Thanks Dave!  I think we should also give a heads-up to the user list,
letting them know that our upcoming 2.0 release will be based on HBase
1.1.  If someone is thinking of trying Trafodion out, then that's a factor
in what software they're going to decide to use.  Let's give them fair
warning and/or remove that as a blocker.
