The Apache Kudu (incubating) team is happy to announce its first release as part of the ASF Incubator, version 0.7.0!
Kudu is an open source storage engine for structured data which supports low-latency random access together with efficient analytical access patterns. It is designed within the context of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem and supports many integrations with other data analytics projects both inside and outside of the Apache Software Foundation. This latest version adds limited support for Apache Spark, makes it possible to build Kudu on more platforms, has a completely revamped Python client, has improvements to both C++ and Java client libraries, and fixes many bugs. Download it here: *http://getkudu.io/releases/0.7.0/ <http://getkudu.io/releases/0.7.0/>* Regards, The Apache Kudu (incubating) team === Apache Kudu (incubating) is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
