The Cassandra team is pleased to announce the release of the first beta for the future Apache Cassandra 1.0.
Let me first stress that this is beta software and as such is *not* ready for production use. The goal of this release is to give a preview of what will be Cassandra 1.0 and more importantly to get wider testing before the final release. So please help us make Cassandra 1.0 be the best it possibly could by testing this beta release and reporting any problem you may encounter[3,4]. You can have a look at the change log[1] and the release notes[2] to see where Cassandra 1.0 differs from the 0.8 series. Apache Cassandra 1.0.0-beta1[5] is available as usual from the cassandra website: http://cassandra.apache.org/download/ Thank you for your help in testing and have fun with it.
