 <p>One reason that a client will back off and retry is a <code>SERVER_TOO_BUSY</code> response from the server. This response is used in a number of overload situations. In a write-mostly workload, the most likely situation is that the server is low on memory and thus asking clients to back off while it flushes. Sure enough, when we graph the heap usage over time, as well as the rate of writes rejected due to low-memory, we see that this is the case:</p>

+    <p>Welcome to the eighteenth edition of the Kudu Weekly Update. This weekly blog post
+covers ongoing development and news in the Apache Kudu project.</p>
+
+<!--more-->
+
+<h2 id="project-news">Project news</h2>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Kudu has graduated from the Apache Incubator and is now a Top-Level Project! All the details
+are in this <a href="http://kudu.apache.org/2016/07/25/asf-graduation.html">blog post</a>.
+Mike Percy and Todd Lipcon made a few updates to the website to reflect the project’s
+new name and status.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="development-discussions-and-code-in-progress">Development discussions and code in progress</h2>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    <p>Dan Burkert contributed a few patches that repackage the Java client under <code>org.apache.kudu</code>
+in place of <code>org.kududb</code>. This was done in a <strong>backward-incompatible</strong> way, meaning that import
+statements will have to be modified in existing Java code to compile against a newer Kudu JAR
+version (from 0.10.0 onward). This stems from <a href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kudu-dev/201605.mbox/%3CCAGpTDNcJohQBgjzXafXJQdqmBB4sL495p5V_BJRXk_nAGWbzhA@mail.gmail.com%3E">a discussion</a>
+initiated in May. It won’t have an impact on C++ or Python users, and it isn’t affecting wire
+compatibility.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Still on the Java-side, J-D Cryans pushed <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3055/">a patch</a>
+that completely changes how Exceptions are managed. Before this change, users had to introspect
+generic Exception objects, making it a guessing game and discouraging good error handling.
+Now, the synchronous client’s methods throw <code>KuduException</code> which packages a <code>Status</code> object
+that can be interrogated. This is very similar to how the C++ API works.</p>
+
+    <p>Existing code that uses the new Kudu JAR should still compile since this change replaces generic
+<code>Exception</code> with a more specific <code>KuduException</code>. Error handling done by string-matching the
+exception messages should now use the provided <code>Status</code> object.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Alexey Serbin’s <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3619/">patch</a> that adds Doxygen-based
+documentation was pushed and the new API documentation for C++ developers will be available
+with the next release.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Todd has made many improvements to the <code>ksck</code> tool over the last week. Building upon Will
+Berkeley’s <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3632/">WIP patch for KUDU-1516</a>, <code>ksck</code> can
+now detect more problematic situations like if a tablet doesn’t have a majority of replicas on
+live tablet servers, or if those replicas aren’t in a good state.
+<code>ksck</code> is also <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3705/">now faster</a> when run against a large
+cluster with a lot of tablets, among other improvements.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>As mentioned last week, Dan has been working on <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3648/">adding add/remove range partition support</a>
+in the C++ client and in the master. The patch has been through many rounds of review and
+testing and it’s getting close to completion. Meanwhile, J-D started looking at adding support
+for this functionality in the <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3731/">Java client</a>.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Adar Dembo is also hard at work on the master. The <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3609/">series</a>
+<a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3610/">of</a> <a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3611/">patches</a> to
+have the tablet servers heartbeat to all the masters that he published earlier this month is
+getting near the finish line.</p>
+  </li>

+    <p>The Apache Kudu (incubating) team is happy to announce the release of Kudu
+0.9.0!</p>

+<p>This latest version adds basic UPSERT functionality and an improved Apache Spark Data Source
+that doesn&#8217;t rely on the MapReduce I/O formats. It also improves Tablet Server
+restart time as well as write performance under high load. Finally, Kudu now enforces
+the specification of a partitioning scheme for new tables.</p>

+
+&lt;!--more--&gt;

+&lt;h2 id=&quot;project-news&quot;&gt;Project news&lt;/h2&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;Kudu has graduated from the Apache Incubator and is now a Top-Level Project! All the details
+are in this &lt;a href=&quot;http://kudu.apache.org/2016/07/25/asf-graduation.html&quot;&gt;blog post&lt;/a&gt;.
+Mike Percy and Todd Lipcon made a few updates to the website to reflect the project’s
+new name and status.&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+
+&lt;h2 id=&quot;development-discussions-and-code-in-progress&quot;&gt;Development discussions and code in progress&lt;/h2&gt;
+
+&lt;ul&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Dan Burkert contributed a few patches that repackage the Java client under &lt;code&gt;org.apache.kudu&lt;/code&gt;
+in place of &lt;code&gt;org.kududb&lt;/code&gt;. This was done in a &lt;strong&gt;backward-incompatible&lt;/strong&gt; way, meaning that import
+statements will have to be modified in existing Java code to compile against a newer Kudu JAR
+version (from 0.10.0 onward). This stems from &lt;a href=&quot;http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kudu-dev/201605.mbox/%3CCAGpTDNcJohQBgjzXafXJQdqmBB4sL495p5V_BJRXk_nAGWbzhA@mail.gmail.com%3E&quot;&gt;a discussion&lt;/a&gt;
+initiated in May. It won’t have an impact on C++ or Python users, and it isn’t affecting wire
+compatibility.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Still on the Java-side, J-D Cryans pushed &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3055/&quot;&gt;a patch&lt;/a&gt;
+that completely changes how Exceptions are managed. Before this change, users had to introspect
+generic Exception objects, making it a guessing game and discouraging good error handling.
+Now, the synchronous client’s methods throw &lt;code&gt;KuduException&lt;/code&gt; which packages a &lt;code&gt;Status&lt;/code&gt; object
+that can be interrogated. This is very similar to how the C++ API works.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+    &lt;p&gt;Existing code that uses the new Kudu JAR should still compile since this change replaces generic
+&lt;code&gt;Exception&lt;/code&gt; with a more specific &lt;code&gt;KuduException&lt;/code&gt;. Error handling done by string-matching the
+exception messages should now use the provided &lt;code&gt;Status&lt;/code&gt; object.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Alexey Serbin’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3619/&quot;&gt;patch&lt;/a&gt; that adds Doxygen-based
+documentation was pushed and the new API documentation for C++ developers will be available
+with the next release.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Todd has made many improvements to the &lt;code&gt;ksck&lt;/code&gt; tool over the last week. Building upon Will
+Berkeley’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3632/&quot;&gt;WIP patch for KUDU-1516&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;code&gt;ksck&lt;/code&gt; can
+now detect more problematic situations like if a tablet doesn’t have a majority of replicas on
+live tablet servers, or if those replicas aren’t in a good state.
+&lt;code&gt;ksck&lt;/code&gt; is also &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3705/&quot;&gt;now faster&lt;/a&gt; when run against a large
+cluster with a lot of tablets, among other improvements.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;As mentioned last week, Dan has been working on &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3648/&quot;&gt;adding add/remove range partition support&lt;/a&gt;
+in the C++ client and in the master. The patch has been through many rounds of review and
+testing and it’s getting close to completion. Meanwhile, J-D started looking at adding support
+for this functionality in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3731/&quot;&gt;Java client&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Adar Dembo is also hard at work on the master. The &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3609/&quot;&gt;series&lt;/a&gt;
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3610/&quot;&gt;of&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/3611/&quot;&gt;patches&lt;/a&gt; to
+have the tablet servers heartbeat to all the masters that he published earlier this month is
+getting near the finish line.&lt;/p&gt;
