[Poorna Chandra]

Hi all,

I am happy to announce the release of Tephra 0.6.3.

This release adds a few features, and fixes a few critical bugs.

New Features

• [TEPHRA-89] - Allow converting existing tables to use transactions
• [TEPHRA-134] - Allow returning multiple versions in Scan

Bug Fixes

• [TEPHRA-131] - NPE on rollback of a family delete with ConflictDetection.ROW
• [TEPHRA-132] - ThriftRPCServer can hang when primary transaction service loses leadership
• [TEPHRA-133] - When the final transaction edit log is not cleanly closed, Tephra should be able to recover
• [TEPHRA-140] - TransactionManager commit should include checkpoint write pointers while advancing read pointer

Improvements

• [TEPHRA-113] - TransactionStateCache should only deserialize a subset of the transaction snapshot
• [TEPHRA-130] - Co-processor should not create data.tx.snapshot.dir
• [TEPHRA-135] - Delete should preserve attributes
• [TEPHRA-142] - Implement a deadlock proof, resource leak proof transaction client provider
• [TEPHRA-143] - Delete marker cells from existing data should be treated as regular cells

The release artifacts are available in Maven Central, and a tarball of the full release build can be downloaded from github:
