The Apache Kudu (incubating) team is happy to announce its first release as part of the ASF Incubator, version 0.7.0!
This latest version has a number of improvements since 0.6.0:
- Kudu now has limited support for Apache Spark, through a simple
kuduRDD API - Several improvements to the Java client including better error handling support and fixes for a potential client hang.
- Better platform support, including support for building on RHEL 7, CentOS 7, and SLES 12.
- The Kudu Python client has been completely revamped and is now considered a supported feature.
- Numerous bug fixes and small improvements for better stability, performance, and usability.
Thanks to Jean-Daniel Cryans for managing this release, as well as to all those who contributed or provided feedback and bug reports.
