The Apache Kudu team is happy to announce the release of Kudu 1.0.0!
This latest version adds several new features, including:
Removal of multiversion concurrency control (MVCC) history is now supported. This allows Kudu to reclaim disk space, where previously Kudu would keep a full history of all changes made to a given table since the beginning of time.
Most of Kudu’s command line tools have been consolidated under a new top-level kudu tool. This reduces the number of large binaries distributed with Kudu and also includes much-improved help output.
Administrative tools including kudu cluster ksck now support running against multi-master Kudu clusters.
The C++ client API now supports writing data in AUTO_FLUSH_BACKGROUND mode. This can provide higher throughput for ingest workloads.
This release also includes many bug fixes, optimizations, and other improvements, detailed in the release notes.
