Hi All,

According to the Hadoop release notes, version 0.21.0 should not be
considered stable or suitable for production:

23 August, 2010: release 0.21.0 available
This release contains many improvements, new features, bug fixes and
optimizations. It has not undergone testing at scale and should not be
considered stable or suitable for production. This release is being
classified as a minor release, which means that it should be API
compatible with 0.20.2.
Is this still the case ?

Thank you,

Saurabh

Yep.

Saurabh,
Its best if you go through the hbase book - Lars George's book "HBase the
Definitive Guide".
Your best bet is to build all binaries yourself or get a stable build from
cloudera.
I was in this situation few months ago and had to spend a lot of time
before I was able to get a production ready hbase version up and running.

thanks
vinod

I second Vinod´s idea. Get the latest stable from Cloudera. Their binaries
are near perfect!
