Project news

While we are working on HBase 0.19.0, here's what happening:

• Andrew Purtell of Trend Micro became the fifth committer. They recently began using HBase in a production environment as you can see in the PoweredBy page of the wiki.
• Michael Stack and Jim Kellerman, the two committers from Powerset (which was bought by Microsoft), are once again able to contribute code. Expect a lot of improvements in the next release.
• The 4th HBase User Group meeting will take place at the Powerset office on October 21, please signup if you are coming. Currently, all active committers should be there (including me by phone).

I will soon post about the writes improvements in HBase, stay tuned!
