The Cassandra community voted on and approved the release of Apache Cassandra 0.4.0-rc1. We would now like to request the approval of the Incubator PMC for this release.
Cassandra is a massively scalable, eventually consistent, distributed, structured key-value store. Podling vote thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/cassandra-...@incubator.apache.org/msg00856.html 0.4.0-rc1 artifacts: http://people.apache.org/~eevans SVN tag: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/cassandra/tags/cassandra-0.4.0-rc1 Project home: http://incubator.apache.org/cassandra/ Incubation status: http://incubator.apache.org/projects/cassandra.html The vote will remain open for 72 hours (or longer if needed). There was quite a bit of discussion surrounding the last IPMC vote, so here is a list of some of the things that were brought up, and where we are are on those issues: * No zip archives We are still not generating zip archives. Hopefully that won't be an issue. * Missing SVN properties This was addressed in CASSANDRA-368 (i.e. the properties are now in place). * Licenses in lib/licenses instead of LICENSE.txt During the discussion, CASSANDRA-371 was created and a reference has since been added to the bottom of LICENSE.txt that directs people to lib/licenses for the third-party dependencies. The reason for putting third-party licenses in lib/licenses was to ease maintenance, which in turn should help guarantee that this information is up-to-date and accurate. That still seems like a valid reason so if possible, I'd like to wait for the resolution of LEGAL-31 * JUnit jar in binary archive I completely lost track of this after the discussion, and didn't notice it until after 0.4.0-rc1 was tagged and the artifacts created. I've submitted CASSANDRA-417 so that it won't be forgotten again. * Attributions in NOTICE.txt During the discussion, I explained the rationale[1] behind our NOTICE.txt, but I'm not sure that went anywhere. The example cited was Antlr, but by my understanding of the BSD license, there is no requirement that the attribution be in a top-level file let alone one named NOTICE.txt. Again, we're trying to keep things simple so that it is easier to maintain and as a result, more accurate and up-to-date. But, if this is a sore spot with IPMC voters, we'll put all attributions, required or not in NOTICE.txt. * NOTICE shouldn't have "Developers and Contributors are listed in..." This is another one I lost track of after the discussion, (CASSANDRA-415 submitted).
