Posted 26 Feb 2016 by Todd Lipcon

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.
