[RESULT][VOTE] The first hbase-2.0.0-beta-1 Release Candidate is available

[Stack <st...@duboce.net>]

Lets fail this RC because it has a broken unit test (Fixed subsequently in
HBASE-19666). As per Andrew, unit tests should be passing by beta-time.

JMS damaged his cluster starting w/ an ill-configured SNAPPY. I
opened HBASE-19701 for beta-2 to look into better messaging around his
failure state -- so JMS's of the world are less baffled next time through
--- and making it so cluster just recovers once cluster has been properly
configured.

Thanks all who gave this RC a run.

I'll be back w/ a new one in next couple of hours. Shout if there is
something you'd like to get in...  within reason of course [1].

St.Ack

1. In case it not plain, we are trying to stabilize branch-2. Care needs to
be exercised backporting. Bug fixes only please. If in doubt, ping me, the
RM, please. Thanks.
